I have a question about 'between'. Definition 5b of this dictionary reads: ----5b) because of the combined effect of: "between work and studies she has no time left" So, for a sentence pattern "Between X, Y". 'Y' must necessarily the be result of 'X' But a search on google returned two types of sentences: 1 "Between work and school, he had no time to relax." 2 "Between work and school, he still found time to relax." Sentence 1 matches the suggested sentence pattern invovlving the 'result of' sense of 'between'. But sentence 2 doesn't. Sentence 2 seems to require a 'in spite of' meaning. Could sentence 2 be poorly written?
