@kenmochimochi I did some reading - I wasn't happy giving you that answer.
Between can be used for more than two things when they are separate and distinct. Among is used for groups or similar things.
So `between Nara, Kyoto, Tokyo and Okinawa, what's your favourite place?'
And `what's your favourite among Japanese cities?'
Hopefully this is a little more helpful!
`Amongst' is nicer than `among' :o)

@kenmochimochi That's a good observation. Ordinarily you'd be right but
"difference among these three sentences..." doesn't sound at all natural to me. I think it's because in this example the focus is on the contrast - the difference. If the example were "there's a cat among the pigeons" then `among' is correct (and sounds natural to me.
That probably doesn't help very much does it? Sorry!

I'm passing this on to my students. BTW.. Do you have a lesson on how to use 'LET'? Thanks.
You said "difference between these three sentences" I learned "between two things" "among three things" Which is right? Or different meanings?

Actually, I looked it up. What is the difference between 3 things is fine.
But I think Acromel's answer is good! Let me know if you are still confused.

Sorry, but this is targeting Japanese students. The SUBTITLES say it all. Just read and you'll be fine! Good luck!
