the difference between of and among

2007-04-11 6:01 pm
1)Of all the students in this class, Tom is the best.
2)Tom has always been popular among his classmates.

係呢兩句句子裡面
of 同 among既意思係唔係相同?
佢地位置可唔可以互相調換?

✔ 最佳答案
You can re-write the sentences as
1) Tom is the best of all the students in this class.
1) Tom is the best among all the students in this class.
1) Among all the students in this class, Tom is the best.
2) Tom has always been popular in his class.

But you cannot replace (among) with (of) in the 2nd sentence.
參考: my understanding
