My grammer teacher never taught me well. Whats the difference between except and accept?

Answer 1

accept is a verb, and it means to take something .. example: Will you accept this award?

except is usually used with the preposition "for" and it places a condition (or an exception) on something. example: Everyone is going except for Tina and Bill.

You will never use "except" as a verb

Answer 2

You ACCEPT a reward, gift, service, offer etc.. so it means to take or agree to receive

But EXCEPT means excluding. It reserves something,
e.g. You can have any sweet except the red ones.

By the way, my spelling's not good but I'm sure it is grammar not grammer ;o)

Answer 3

except-leaving that
i've read everything except that lesson.
accept-to consider something or someone as satisfactory:
The manuscript was accepted for publication last week.
accept- [T] to agree to take something:
Do you accept credit cards?
to say 'yes' to an offer or invitation:
We've offered her the job, but I don't know whether she'll accept it.
accept-accept (BELIEVE)verb [T]
to believe that something is true:
The police refused to accept her version of the story.

anyway its grammar not grammer

Answer 4

Except - With the exclusion of; other than; but: everyone except me.

Accept - To receive (something offered), especially with gladness or approval: accepted a glass of water; accepted their contract.
To admit to a group, organization, or place: accepted me as a new member of the club.

Answer 5

I accept your answer except where it's wrong.

OK, this sentence contains both of your words. To ACCEPT something is to admit or allow entrance, and the first difference applies here. In this sentence, EXCEPT means the exclusion of some factor (in this case, where the answer is wrong).

I hope this helps. Have a terrific day!

Answer 6

Except is sort of a word you use when you talk to somebody e.g:
"I love blueberry pie, it's my favourite food, except it goes off very quickly!"

Except is usually what people use to say the bad of something.

Whereas accept is completely different! "I accept your apology" or "I am sorry, I know accept you for who you are". Accepting is quite hard. It's usually saying: "I realise you apologised and thank-you" or "I am sorry I did not realise your feelings before, I will treat you well, as yourself". It's complicated but if you see what I mean...

Answer 7

Yer 'aving a laugh ain't ya?! I could accept that your grammar teacher did not do a good job in teaching you, except that grammar has nothing to do with spelling or understanding the meaning of words!

Answer 8

You accept a gift. You may like all fruits except bananas.

I accept your offer of employment.
You can have everything you want except immortality.

Accept all things offered except for bad things.

Hope that helps.

Answer 9

To accept something is to willingly take it (either literally, as in "I accepted the envelope." or figuratively "I accepted my fate."). To except something is to intentionally leave it out, and it's used in a lot of senses. "When I say my friends are jerks, I except you from that" or "I like everything on the menu except the stew." If something is exceptional, it isn't necessarily bad, but it is set apart from everything else. "She's an exceptionally good swimmer."

Answer 10

Except=", but"
Accept="Acknowledge"
