Hi, I'm Roy and today I'm going to tell you

when we use 'except' and when we use 'accept'.

Modal verbs - A2

'Except' means 'excluding or not including'.

'I love all types of film except horror films.'

That means the only type of film I don't like is horror.

So I only have one cup a day in the morning.

'Accept' means 'to say yes to something'.

'Dan asked me to go for a coffee and I said yes.'

You can also accept a situation that is often negative.

'He accepted his ex-partner had met someone else.'

I'd love to stay longer except we only have a minute.
