English Language & Usage Asked on August 21, 2020
I was wondering if this construction using "between" to introduce a set of traits/circumstances was correct. (I’m also interested in alternative phrases that may be more appropriate):
Between his spirit, talent, amiability, and tenacity, I believe he will thrive in this role.
Between the rain and the pandemic, going outside is probably not a good idea.
Does this make sense? If so, when I use this construction, what does "between" need to agree with? (i.e. is it "between his X, Y, and Z, I believe he will…" or is it "between his X, Y, and Z, he will…"
I don’t know if this is actually a colloquialism, but I’ve definitely heard/seen this somewhere and wanted to know if it’d be understandable to any English speaker, as well as guidelines for proper grammatical usage.
