except 和except for的区别
意思区别。
except:vt. 不计;把…除外;vi. 反对;prep. 除…之外;conj. 除了;要不是
except for:除了…以外;要不是由于
except指的是整体除去部分,但是前面内容属于同一类。except for指的是一个个体的构成部分除去,前面内容不属于同一类。通常我们说是“美中不足”。
词性区别。
except可以做动词、介词、连词;而except for一般都做介词词组用。
用法不同。
except可以做谓语、状语、定语等等; 而except for一般做状语。
例如:
They were all there except me. (他们和我都是人,同类)
除了我以外他们都在那里。
We work every day except Sunday. (每天和星期天是同类)
除了星期日, 我们每天都上班。
The composition is good except for some spelling mistakes.(作文和错误不同类)
这篇作文写的不错,除了几个拼写错误。

② You can have any of the cakes except this one.除了这块蛋糕,你哪块都能吃.
③ She saw nothing except snow.除了雪她什么也没看见.(nothing except = nothing but = only)
(2)except经常接名词、代词,也可接副词,介词短语,不带to的不定式或从句等.例如:
④ She looked everywhere except here.除了这里,她到处看.
⑤ You may drop in at any time except at noon.除了中午,你任何时候来都可以.
⑥ She doesn’t do anything except sit and watch TV.除了坐着看电视外,她什么也不做.
⑦ It was a good hotel except that it was rather noisy.这家旅馆还不错,只可惜吵.
⑧ He usually goes to work by bicycle except when it rains.除了下雨的时候,他通常骑自行车去上班.
(3)except for也表示“除…以外”,指对某种基本情况进行具体的细节方面的修正.它同except的区别是:except for后接的词同句子中的整体词(主语)不是同类的,指从整体中除去一个细节,一个方面;而except后接的词同整体词(主语)一般是同类,指在同类的整体中除去一个部分.例如:
⑨ I can answer all the questions except for the last one.除了最后一题外,所有题目我都可以解答.
⑩ Your writing is good except for a few grammar mistakes.除了几处语法错误外,你的作文写得很好.
两者的用法不尽相同:当位于句末时,两者可以互换;当位于句首时,只能用except for。但是except for与except的含义一样,都表示“除了...之外,没有”。
I can do nothing except / except forswimming in the dog days. (在三伏天里,除了游泳,我什么事也做不成。)
Except fora broken wood chair, the room was empty. (屋子里除了一张破木椅,什么都没有。)
拓展资料
except[ɪkˈsept]:把…除外。Except for a broken wood chair, the room was empty. (屋子里除了一张破木椅,什么都没有。)
apart from的含义跟except和except for是一样的。只是在用法上,apart from皆可以放在句末,也可以放在句首。如:It's a good piece of work, apart from a few slight faults. (除了一些小缺点之外,这不失为一件漂亮的作品。)

All the buildings are excellent except this one.
All the buildings are excellent except for their location
此处比较难理解,except可以说是从一个整体中除去一个与其它部分不相同的部分,如例句中 this one 是 all the building 中的一部分,它是包含在主语中的。except for 是表示从一个整体中除去一些瑕疵,且除去的部分与主语不是同一类的,例句中,all the building和their location 明显不是同一类的事物。
2)当except用在句首时往往改用except for
There was no single person in the dark street that night except apoliceman on his duty.
此句相当于
Except for apoliceman on his duty,there was no single person in the dark street that night.
