"Between" is a preposition. To give a rough definition, if A, B, and C are objects, and the following conditions are met, then B can be said to be between A and C: the shortest path from A to C intersects B; the distance from A to B is less than the distance from A to C; and the distance from B to C is less than the distance from A to C. It is generally considered improper to end a sentence with a preposition, though English lacks a formal rule forbidding it. Other prepositions include "of" and "to."
