The preposition between can be used to connect two or more subjects.
For example:
In between a man and his dog, is an everlasting relationship.
Let's keep this secret between you and me.
Our discussion meeting is between 2 o'clock and 3 o'clock.
After is a preposition of time, usually. "My sister was born after me." Behind is a preposition (or adverb) of place. "Our house was behind the airport." (preposition); "The children walked behind." (adverb).
"Admit to"
A preposition will use an object (noun, pronoun, or an equivalent phrase). Example: Getting dirty is part of being a cowboy. (being a cowboy is a noun phrase, object of the preposition of) Where an adverb might also be used as a preposition, look for an object: a noun or pronoun or the equivalent which normally follows the preposition. If there is none, the word in that usage is an adverb. Example: We walked on. (adverb) We walked on the beach. (preposition)
The opposite directional preposition is from.
To use "around" as an adverb, just make sure that it is not being used in a prepositional phrase. Adverb Example: I have been walking around. In the above example, "around" is not in a prepositional phrase. It is simply a word standing alone. Preposition Example: I have been walking around the house. In this example, "around" is in a prepositional phrase, so it is being used as a preposition.
A preposition is used before a noun or pronoun to show its relationship to another word in the sentence. It indicates location, time, direction, or other relationships between elements in a sentence.
You use a preposition in a prepositional phrase, such as "I will be with you in a minute."
Nouns, pronouns, gerunds, and noun phrases can commonly stand after a preposition in a sentence.
Between is a preposition
Me, because you always use me after a preposition. Examples: The cloud is above me. The present is for me. The door is near me. If you have a hard time to figure out what comes after a preposition, try using one noun at a time with different prepositions. The table is between you and me. This secret is between you and me.
Between is a preposition and an adverb.
use the preposition
No, "but" is typically used as a conjunction to contrast two ideas or clauses. It is not commonly used as a preposition in English grammar.
The preposition "against" is typically used after the word "prejudice." For example, one might say "prejudice against a certain group of people."
Between "Cathy and me" is correct. "Between" is a preposition, and you use "me" as the object of a preposition. Always try it with another proposition, such as "for," and make it singular. Would you say "for I"? No, you would say "for me." This applies to more than one person, so the proper usage is "for you and me," the same as "for me." This applies to "between" as well.
When can you use than as a preposition rather than a conjunction?
The preposition, the object of the preposition, and everything in between. The object of the preposition answers the question "(preposition) what?" For example: He looked in the box worriedly. "in the box" is the prepositional phrase because "in" is the preposition, and "box" is the object of the preposition. "Box" answers the question, "(preposition) what?, or in this case, "In what?"
