✔ 最佳答案
1)
學英文雖然有時要死記,但若能明白其理,學英文就會容易得多
你的句子的for是介詞(preposition),跟著介詞的,必須是名詞,動名詞,或名詞相等語,如:
This letter is for you.(you是名詞)
He left us without a word.(word是名詞)
He entered without knocking at the door.(knocking是動名詞)
所以,responsible for paying the rates.要用paying而不用pay.
2)
between是兩者之間,我們可以用線來想像,一條線兩點之間的一點(時間等也可以想像是一條時間線)
如:They planted a lot of trees between the two buildings(他們在兩座建築物之間栽了許多樹。)
  These books were written between 1736 and 1770.(這些書寫於一七三六至一七七零年之間。)
而among的意思是,在其中,可以用平面來想像。如:
I saw a few familiar faces among the crowd.(在人群中,我看到一些熟悉的面口)
Rescue teams searched among the wreckage for survivors(搜救隊在殘骸中搜尋生還者)
希望幫到你!

1.因為for之後的動詞會加ing
而pay是動詞,所以會加ing,變成paying

2.between:(指時間,空間,順序等)在...之間
among :在...之中;在...中間
between同among既分別是:
between:是在時間,空間,順序之間
among :在...之中 如:湯姆在同學中一直很受歡迎。
