Among what she said?? can I say that???
Hey, people

I just have a question.
I was wondering if I could say 'among what she said in a sentence'.
so... this is a situation.
my friend's friend told my friend something, for example 1,2,3,4,5(as in 5 stories)
and now my friend is telling me what she said to me, everything but 4.
I keep asking her what the (story 4) was
but she wouldnt tell me.

so can I say...

among what she said, there is something she wouldn't tell me.
or should it be 'from what she said'

I'm not sure if my question is clear enough.

thanks in advance

Answer

Hi Maguro

Definitely not 'among what she said'.

I'd say that the best would be "from what she said, I could tell there was something she would not tell me."

You can use 'among the things she said', but only if you were identifying something that was included, not something that was missing.

Answer

say

"she told me the stories but i think she didn't tell me all of it"
