between two places

[Winwin2011]

Hi teachers

The hospital is on the left, the bank is in the middle and the supermarket is on the right.

Usually we say 'the bank is between the hospital and the supermarket'.

If a primary student writes ''the bank is between the supermarket and the hospital', will you deem it incorrect?

Thanks for your help.

I wouldn't, especially if they were standing to the right of the supermarket when they gave the location.

ps. What is a 'primary student?
