Welcome to JSS3 Second Term!

We are eager to have you join us in class!!

In today’s class, We will be discussing Structure (Expressing Exceptions). We hope you enjoy the class!

TOPIC: Structure: Expressing Exception using except for, but, and apart from.

 

CONTENT

Exception means excluding something or someone from a general statement or a group.

An exception can be expressed in different ways. We can use such words as except, except for, but and apart from to express exception.

 

Now, consider the following examples:

1. They all attended the party except Mary
2. We come to school every day except Saturday and Sunday
3. I had nothing on except for my socks
4. All the houses are new except for those two over there.
5. She had no choice but to sign the contract.
6. They have answered all apart from the last question.
7. We are all students apart from Stephen
