1. Old English betwēonum, from be 'by' + a Germanic word related to two【用法】
1. In standard English it is correct to say between you and me but incorrect to say between you and I. Why is this? A preposition such as between takes the object case and is correctly followed by object pronouns such as me, him, her, and us rather than subject pronouns such as I, he, she, and we. Thus it is correct to say between us or between him and her and it is clearly incorrect to say between we or between he and she. The mistake between you and I arises from a confusion between what follows a preposition and what ordinarily comes at the beginning of a sentence in the subject case. Many people know that it is not correct to say John and me went to the shops and that the correct sentence is John and I went to the shops Thus, people concerned about correcting mistakes in one context have assumed that ‘and me’ should in all cases be replaced by ‘and I’. In trying to avoid one kind of error, another one has been created
