π» Note: we use except,not except for, with to-infinitives,and that-clauses:
π Examples π
π

π 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:
π Examples π
