Note
Only the verb takes the -s. The preposition and conjunction except never inflect, so excepts always marks a verb with a singular subject. Used transitively, it pairs with from: a rule that excepts minors from the curfew. The rarer intransitive use, meaning 'objects', takes to or against: she excepts to the ruling. With other subjects the bare form serves: they except.
