Inner parking is closed until next week, for everyone except VIP and suppliers. The second sentence sounds more natural to me, but i have a need to put comma before except. Which one is correct ? Thank you so much

Jan (in the comments section) is correct that you don't need a comma at all, and it is better if there were NO comma. But I imagine that this comes from a homework exercise or grammar book where you are practicing where to place commas. The first sentence is the one I would choose as "correct" if you had to make a choice. The second sentence is definitely incorrect. Next week, inner parking is closed for everyone -- that is the main idea. Then you add on the exceptions "except for VIPs and suppliers.. " I think without commas is better because it is closed to everyone except VIPs and suppliers. They are not an afterthought. It's like: she likes everyone in the office except her boss. She likes everyone in the office, except her boss (with the exception of her boss). I would actually say "Inner parking is closed TO everyone' but that's another story. :-)

Hello! Both of these sentences work fine. However, you don't really need a comma anywhere. It sounds best without one. Inner parking is closed until next week for everyone except VIP and suppliers. All the best.

The first one looks and sounds better for me, but I'm looking forward for other opinions about
