except

except his name from the list (~を除く)

All the compositions except Ben's are good. (= All the compositions are good except Ben's. )

Except for the spelling, Ben's composition is good. (= Ben's composition is good except for the spelling. )

Everyone except me got an invitation.

I'm quite well now, except for a slight cold.

except は、「~を除いて」 で語修飾、except for は、「~を別にすれば」 で文修飾。


I have a good memory except for names and faces.

これは、except for ではなく、except が for 句にかかっている。
