Between or from #1 (permalink) Wed Jan 04, 2006 5:20 am   Between or from		  
hello, everyone!
the sentence is:
If I have to choose between Tom and David,I would say Tom is better for the job.
Can I replace "between" by" from"?

Hi danial2005,

You would choose between two nouns/objects but if you had a choice of several nouns/objects, it would be better to use from.
