    2) кроме, за исключением, кроме того
    - last but one
    - next but one
    •
    CHOICE OF WORDS:
    (1.) Союз but вводит противоречащие или ограничивающие друг друга слова и предложения: Not he but his brother. Не он, а его брат. She felt tired but happy. Она чувствовала себя усталой, но счастливой. My room is small, but it is comfortable. Моя комната невелика, но уютна/ удобна. There was nothing else for us to do but obey. Нам не оставалось ничего другого, как подчиниться. В начале предложения but часто указывает на переход к другой теме разговора: But non to the main question. Ну, а теперь перейдем к основному вопросу. (2.) Личные местоимения, следующие за but 2. употребляются в форме объектного падежа: Who would do a thing like that? Nobody but her (him, me). Кто может такое сделать? Никто, кроме нее (Только она одна). Глагол, следующий за but 2. используется в форме инфинитива, частица to может быть опущена: I couldn't do anything but just sit here and hope. Мне ничего не оставалось делать, кроме как сидеть и надеяться. (3.) Придаточное предложение или отдельные слова и словосочетания, вводимые but после отрицаний, используются для того, чтобы подчеркнуть, что справедлива именно вторая часть высказывания (введенная but): They purpose of the scheme is not to help the employers but to provide work for young people. Цель этого проекта не помочь предпринимателям, а предоставить работу (создать рабочие места) молодежи (для молодежи). There is no doubt but that he is guilty. Нет сомнений в том, что он виновен. (4.) But 2. используется только после слов all - все, every one - каждый, any - любой, no - не и их производных, а так же в вопросах, начинающихся с what, who и where: We are all here but Mary. Мы все здесь, за исключением Мэри. Every one knows the answer but me. Ответ знали все, кроме меня. Who but John would say that? Кто кроме Джона скажет так (это)? (5.) Значение противопоставления, контраста, ограничения может быть передано, кроме but, рядом других близкозначных слов и словосочетаний, таких, как yet - и все же, тем не менее: She drove very fast to the airport, yet she missed the plane. Она ехала в аэропорт очень быстро, тем не менее на самолет она опоздала; although/even though - хотя: Although/even thought my room is very small, it is very comfortable. Хотя комната у меня маленькая, она очень уютна/удобна; in spite of the fact that/despite the fact that - несмотря на то, что: In spite of the fact that my room is very small, it is very comfortable. Несмотря на то, что комната у меня маленькая, она очень удобна; however - однако: My room is small, however it is very comfortable. Моя комната невелика, однако она очень удобна; except a, после слов not и always - excepting - кроме, за исключением: The window is never opened except in summer. Это окно никогда не открывается, кроме как летом (Это окно открывается только летом). They were all saved except the captain. Спасли всех, кроме капитана. They were all saved not excepting the captain. Спасли всех, в том числе и капитана. Except - наиболее близкое по значению к but, несколько более официально, но по сравнению с but не ограничено в своем употреблении характером сочетающихся с ним слов: not only but also - не только… но и: He was not only foolish but also stubborn; however - однако. (6.) Когда but и yet соединяют два предложения, то эти предложения отделяются запятой (,): My room is very small, but it is comfortable. (7.) Когда however, even so соединяют два предложения, то они отделяются точкой с запятой (;), а слова however, even so отделяются запятой (,): I agree with you; however, we cannot accept your plan. (8.) Часть предложения, вводимая although/even though, in spite of the fact that/despite the fact that, может стоять в начале или конце предложения. Если эта часть предложения стоит в начале, перед главным предложением, то оно отделяется от него запятой (,): Although my room was small, it was very comfortable. Если же такое придаточное стоит после главного, то запятая не ставится: My room is very comfortable although it is small. (9.) Сочетание can't/could not but do smth соответствует русскому не мог не: I could not but admire her. Я не мог ею не восхищаться. (10.). Сочетание next but one значит - через один (одну): Your stop is next but one. Вам выходить через одну остановку. Сочетание last but one значит - предпоследний: He was last but one in the race. В гонках он оказался (пришел) предпоследним
