Hi,
This expression suggests that what you are going to say is private and not to be told to every one and so it is therefore only for you and me and remains between you and me.

That's why we say In confidence, because you have confident in him, isn't it?

Good Evening!
I have heard this phrase alot 'between you and me' but I wonder why its not 'between you and I'.
Because in this sentence 'my sister and me' its incorrect but 'my sister and I' this one is correct.
Thank you so much! |

Hi Luby,
It is usual to have an 'object' pronoun after a preposition. We say 'for them' (not 'they') 'to us' (not to 'we') And that is the same with 'between you and me' (not 'I').

| That means 'I', 'they' and 'we' are 'subject' pronoun,which cannot be written after a preposition. |

| "Earlier XYZ&Co." or "Formerly XYZ&Co." | Why 'death and taxes'? Would like to know the origin of the phrase. |
