except的用法主谓一致

1.except作介词用，意为“除…之外”。指将…排除在外。

格林先生每天都要上班除了星期天。

All of my friends are Chinese except Lily. She is from England.

我的所有朋友都是中国人，除了莉莉。她来自英国。

except for也可替换except

Everyone is here except (for) Emily.

只是，except for还有其他用法，同时很多同学经常搞混近义词besides和but。若要搞清楚它们的用法，请查看except for except besides but的区别

2.except还可作连词用，表示除…之外

except (that) +句子

You look just like Jack except (that) he is older than you.

你看起来和Jack一模一样，只是他比你老一些。

He told me nothing except that he had a surprise for me.

他什么也没和我说，只说了他要给我一个惊喜。

(except that在宾语从句中常不可省略that)

except when/where/if +句子

房子是空的，我们来了之后才不空。

except do sth.除了做某事 （前面有动词do，except 后省略to）

TIPS:

此外，要注意except和expect之间的拼写差别：except除…之外，expect v.期待。要小心不要混淆了。
