Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds

Use {除了|chúle}...{以外|yǐwài} to express 'besides' (in addition to) or 'except for' (excluding).

  • Use it to add items: {除了|chúle} A {以外|yǐwài}, B 也... (Besides A, B also...)
  • Use it to exclude: {除了|chúle} A {以外|yǐwài}, 都... (Except for A, all...)
  • The {以外|yǐwài} part is optional but common in written Chinese.
除了 + [Item] + 以外, [Subject] + [Verb/Also/All]...

Overview

Ever feel like you’re juggling options in Chinese? You like this, but not that. You can do this, AND you can do that, too.
除了...以外 (chúle(chúle)...yǐwài(yǐwài)) is your new best friend for expressing these exact ideas. It’s a super common pattern that lets you say both except for and in addition to. Get this one down, and your sentences will instantly level up. It might seem tricky because it does two opposite things, but there’s a simple secret to mastering it.
Ready?
So, what’s the big deal with 除了...以外? Think of it as a framing device. It sets up a topic and then makes a comment about it.
But here’s the cool part: depending on one little word you add later, you can either exclude that topic or include it with other things. It’s like having a VIP list for your sentences. You can say,
Everyone is on the list, except this person.
Or you can say,
This person is on the list, and also these other people are, too.
This dual function makes it incredibly useful for everything from making plans with friends to writing a formal email.
It’s all about separating or combining things. Once you see the simple logic behind it, you’ll start hearing it everywhere, from Chinese dramas on Netflix to your friends’ WeChat messages.

How This Grammar Works

This pattern has a split personality, but in a good way. It works in two main ways: exclusion and inclusion. The magic happens in the second part of the sentence.
The choice between two key adverbs, 都 (dōu(dōu)) and 还 (hái(hái)) or 也 (yě(yě)), completely changes the meaning. It’s like a choose-your-own-adventure story for your sentence.
  • Exclusion (Except For): When you use 都 (dōu(dōu)), you’re kicking something out. You’re saying that *everything but this one thing* fits the description. Think of 都 as meaning all, so the logic is
    Except for X, all the others are...
  • Inclusion (In Addition To): When you use 还 (hái(hái)) or 也 (yě(yě)), you’re adding something to the pile. You’re saying *in addition to this thing, there's also something else*. Think of 还 as also or as well, so the logic is
    Besides X, there is also...
That’s the core secret. The first part, 除了...以外, just introduces the subject. The second part, with 都 or 还/也, tells you whether to subtract it or add to it. It’s less of a headache than trying to remember your Wi-Fi password, I promise.

Formation Pattern

1
Let’s build this thing. It’s a straightforward formula. Just follow the steps.
2
Pattern 1: Exclusion (Except For)
3
Start with 除了 (chúle(chúle)).
4
Add the person, thing, or action you want to exclude.
5
Add 以外 (yǐwài(yǐwài)). You can sometimes drop this in casual chat, but it's good to learn it.
6
Add a comma ,.
7
State the subject (if different from the excluded item).
8
Add the magic word 都 (dōu(dōu)).
9
Finish with the verb or adjective that applies to everyone/everything else.
10
除了 + Noun/Pronoun + 以外, Subject + 都 + Verb/Adjective
11
Example: 除了 星期天(Xīngqītiān) 以外，我(wǒ) 每天(měitiān) 都 工作(gōngzuò)。
12
(Except for Sunday, I work every day.)
13
Pattern 2: Inclusion (In Addition To)
14
Start with 除了 (chúle(chúle)).
15
Add the person, thing, or action.
16
Add 以外 (yǐwài(yǐwài)).
17
Add a comma ,.
18
State the subject.
19
Add the magic word 还 (hái(hái)) or 也 (yě(yě)). 还 is a bit more common.
20
Finish with the other thing they do or quality they have.
21
除了 + Noun/Pronoun + 以外, Subject + 还/也 + Verb/Adjective
22
Example: 除了 唱歌(chànggē) 以外，他(tā) 还 喜欢(xǐhuān) 跳舞(tiàowǔ)。
23
(Besides singing, he also likes dancing.)

When To Use It

You'll use this pattern all the time. It’s perfect for clarifying what you mean.
  • Making plans: 除了 星期六(Xīngqīliù) 以外，我(wǒ) 每天(měitiān) 都 有空(yǒukòng)。(“Except for Saturday, I’m free every day.”). Super useful for telling your friends when you can hang out.
  • Listing your skills: 除了 英语(Yīngyǔ) 以外，我(wǒ) 还 会说(huì shuō) 一点儿(yìdiǎnr) 中文(Zhōngwén)。(“Besides English, I can also speak a little Chinese.”). Great for your resume or a Zoom job interview.
  • Ordering food: 除了 香菜(xiāngcài) 以外，我(wǒ) 什么(shénme) 都 吃(chī)。(“Except for cilantro, I eat everything.”). A lifesaver for picky eaters ordering on a food delivery app.
  • Talking about hobbies: 除了 打游戏(dǎ yóuxì) 以外，我(wǒ) 也(yě) 喜欢(xǐhuān) 看(kàn) 电影(diànyǐng)。(“Besides playing games, I also like watching movies.”). A perfect way to expand on your interests when getting to know someone.
  • Excluding someone or something politely: 除了 小明(Xiǎo Míng) 以外，大家(dàjiā) 都 来(lái) 了(le)。(“Everyone came except for Xiao Ming.”). It’s a neutral way to state a fact without sounding too blunt.

Common Mistakes

This pattern is awesome, but a few traps are waiting for you. Let’s put up some warning signs.
  1. 1Mixing up 都 and 还/也: This is the #1 mistake. Using 都 when you mean also or 还 when you mean except. Always double-check: do you want to include or exclude? It's the difference between saying
    I like all fruits except apples
    and
    Besides apples, I also like... [what?]
    . The second one is an incomplete thought and will confuse people.
  1. 1Forgetting the second clause: 除了...以外 is a two-part structure. Just saying 除了他以外 ({chúle tā yǐwài}) leaves your listener hanging. It’s like saying “Apart from him…” and then walking away. You have to complete the thought!
  1. 1Wrong 都 placement: 都 must come *after* the subject of the second clause, not before. It’s a classic adverb position rule.
  • ✗ WRONG: 除了 他(tā) 以外, 都 大家(dàjiā) 来(lái) 了(le)。
  • ✓ RIGHT: 除了 他(tā) 以外, 大家(dàjiā) 都 来(lái) 了(le)。
  1. 1Using it for simple alternatives: If you just want to say "I like coffee, but I don't like tea," you don't need this complex pattern. 除了...以外 is for when one thing is an exception to a group, or an addition to a list. Don't use a sledgehammer to crack a nut, you know?

Contrast With Similar Patterns

除了...以外 has some cousins in the grammar family. Let’s make sure you don’t mix them up at the family reunion.
  • 不但...而且... ({búdàn...érqiě...} - Not only... but also...): This one is purely for *adding* information, similar to the 还/也 version of 除了...以外. However, 不但...而且... often implies an escalation, where the second part is more surprising or significant. 除了...以外 is more like a simple list.
  • 他 不但 会唱歌, 而且 唱得很好。 (He not only can sing, but he also sings very well.) - *This emphasizes how well he sings.*
  • 除了 唱歌 以外, 他 还 会跳舞。 (Besides singing, he also knows how to dance.) - *This just adds another skill to the list.*
  • 或者 ({huòzhě} - or): Used for choices in statements. It’s for A *or* B. 除了...以外 is about A *in relation to* B, C, and D.
  • 你想喝 咖啡 或者 茶 吗？ (Do you want to drink coffee or tea?) - *A simple choice.*
  • 除了 咖啡 以外, 我 也 喜欢喝茶。 (Besides coffee, I also like to drink tea.) - *Expressing a preference for both.*
  • 只有...才... ({zhǐyǒu...cái...} - Only if... then...): This sets a strict condition. It means ONLY one thing works. The exclusive 除了...都... pattern is the opposite; it says everything works EXCEPT one thing. They are two sides of the same coin.
  • 只有 你 才 能帮我。 (Only you can help me.) - *Exclusive condition.*
  • 除了 你 以外，谁 都 不能帮我。 (Except for you, nobody can help me.) - *Same meaning, different structure.*

Quick FAQ

Q

Can I always omit 以外 (yǐwài(yǐwài))?

In casual conversation, yes, quite often. People will say 除了他，大家都来了. But when you're learning, it's best to practice the full 除了...以外 form to get it locked in your brain. It’s never wrong to include it.

Q

Is there a difference between 还 (hái(hái)) and 也 (yě(yě)) in the inclusive pattern?

They are very similar and often interchangeable. 还 can feel slightly stronger in the sense of "what's more or in addition,

while 也 is a softer
also." For an A1 level, you can treat them as basically the same. No one will notice if you swap them. Except maybe your overly picky language partner.

Q

What if I want to exclude more than one thing?

Easy! Just list them. 除了 香菜(xiāngcài) 和(hé) 洋葱(yángcōng) 以外，我(wǒ) 什么(shénme) 都 吃(chī)。(“Except for cilantro and onions, I eat everything.”)

Q

Can the thing after 除了 be a verb phrase?

Absolutely! 除了 不喜欢(bù xǐhuān) 运动(yùndòng) 以外，他(tā) 没什么(méi shénme) 缺点(quēdiǎn)。(“Except for not liking sports, he doesn’t have any shortcomings.”). It’s super flexible.
