Except, accept, past, passed
====================
🌸Except, expect and accept
These words are often confused.
🌸Except is a preposition. It should be followed by a noun which acts as its object.
🔹Everybody came except John.
Here the noun John acts as the object of the preposition except. Except shows the relationship between ‘everybody’ and ‘John’.
🌸Expect is a verb
🔹I expected him to call but he didn’t.
🔹We expect her to win the first prize.
🌸Accept is also a verb.
🔹She accepted the invitation.
🌸Past and passed
Past can be used as a preposition, but passed cannot be used like this.
🔹I walked past the school.
🔹It is past your bedtime.
🌸Past can also be used as an adverb. In this case, it is not followed by a noun.
🔹A policeman walked past.
🌸Passed is a verb. It refers to the action of passing.
🔹She has passed the test.
Note that the word past usually refers to time or distance.
🌸Into and Onto
The word into is a preposition. It is usually written as one word.
🔹King Midas turned everything he touched into gold.
🔹When she kissed the frog it turned into a handsome prince.
🌸Sometimes the words in and to appear next to each other in a sentence. In this case, they should be written as two words.
🔹The minister himself stepped in to avert a PR crisis. (NOT The minister himself stepped into ….)
🌸Onto
Onto is a preposition.
🔹He threw the hat onto the roof.
The difference between into and onto is similar to the difference between in and on.
