Important Fact

EXAMPLES:

The boy sat between two girls.

The teacher sat among all the students.

Use between when the object of the preposition refers to two people or things, and use among when speaking of three or more.

Important Fact #2

If the word has no object, then it is an adverb.

I went out.

Sometimes the same word can be used as a preposition or as an adverb.
