Hello Everyone,
These two English words are sometimes confused by native speakers. They sound alike but have different meanings.
Accept is a verb that means "to receive, admit, regard
E.g.
- Monique can't accept such a gift.
- Peter was accepted to Harvard.
The noun acceptance refers to the "act or process of accepting, approval, or agreement."
Except means "excluding", "other than".
E.g
- Karina bought a gift for everyone except me.
It is also a conjunction that means "if not for the fact that" or "other than."
E.g.
- I would help you, except I'm too busy.
- He never calls me except to borrow money.
Cheers,
Nevton
