Expressing "except" and "in addition" with "chule… yiwai"

Nível: HSK 3 | Categoria: Gramática

Explicação da Regra:

Using 除了 (chúle)--often with 以外 (yǐwài)--will help you spruce up your sentences when you want to express the meanings of "except," "besides," or "in addition." You may feel that "except" has a pretty different meaning from the other two. Well, read on! 除了⋯⋯ (以外), 都⋯⋯ is a pattern used to express "except." Make a special note of the 都 (dōu)! 除了 ⋯⋯ (+ 以外) ，Subj. + 都 ⋯⋯ 以外 can be omitted from the pattern without changing its meaning.
