Grammar Lesson Except vs
Except for We use
except(for) to introduce the only thing(s)or person/ people that a statement does not include:
Examples The price of the holiday includes all meals except(for) lunch.
Everyone seemed to have been invited except for Mrs wood Ford and me.
I had no money to give him except (for)the few coins in my picket.
Note: we use
expect,not except for, with to-infinitives,and that-clauses:
@AmEnglish
Examples I really need to go into the city center except to do some shopping.
We usually use
except before prepositions,bare infinitives,and that-clauses including those where the word that is left out. However,informally
except for is something also used,although this is grammatically incorrect:
Examples There is likely to be rain everywhere today except in wale.
There is nothing more the doctor can do except keep an eye on him.
They look just like the real thing,except (that) they are made of plastic.
