Oral Language Week 1

Using Among/Between

Among and between are both prepositions, which we’ll learn about this week in grammar.

How do you know when to say “among” and when to say “between”?

The only difference between these two prepositions is that

  • Between is used when talking about TWO persons, places or things.
  • Among is used when talking about THREE or more.

Examples:

Between

  • “I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring” (Genesis 3:15).
  • “…and there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock” (Genesis 13:7).

Among

  • “And they heard the sound of יְהֹוָה God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of יְהֹוָה God among the trees of the garden” (Genesis 3:8).
  • “Abram settled in the land of Canaan, while Lot settled among the cities of the valley and moved his tent as far as Sodom” (Genesis 13:12).

 Activities:

  • Each day, have your students come up with example sentences for between and among.
  • Look up the words between and among in a Strong’s concordance, to find all their uses in the Bible. Read the verses aloud. Do the usages of these words “sound right” to your ears?
  • Fill a mason jar with small change or small candies, and place it in your home. When someone “catches” someone using these two words incorrectly, let them have a prize from the jar. (Be sure to teach them to be tactful with people outside your home. If they notice a grammar error, they should whisper it to Mom privately, never embarrassing others.)

    So, is this for grade 1? It doesn’t specify a grade…?

    No, it’s Week 1, but intended for all grades, although our Grammar curriculum is especially for 4th grade and up, and some of these weekly topics might be hard to understand if the child hasn’t had some grammar yet. My younger kids like to listen in, and they often catch on pretty quickly. At our house, they get a little silly with them, but I figure it helps them remember it. 🙂

    When I try to print this I get a screen saying it is locked for members and to log in. I’m already logged in. Is there something I am doing wrong?

    So sorry for not replying until now. Are you still having problems with this?

    Hi

    I am having the same problem as above. Xx

    Hi! Have you tried clicking on PDF rather than PRINT? Try that and see if you can generate a PDF and save it to your computer and print that way. If that doesn’t work, try using a different browser. If that doesn’t work, please e-mail me at 🙂

    Referring to what you mentioned above, is Grammar to be started in 4th grade or 5th grade? In the grammar section, it says 5th, but here you say 4th? What’s best? Thank you!

    Oral Language is easier than Grammar, but some of the explanations might not make as much sense without the Grammar lessons. I personally would wait until 5th grade. (The idea is that Grammar is a little more abstract, so you want to wait until your student can think more abstractly than many elementary kids can.)
