Do besides/apart from/aside from/except/except for have the same meaning? you can use any of them but it may have different meanigns according to the sentences. 1.We have a lot in common except/except for/besides/apart from/ aside from watching football games. ---which means the speaker doesnt like watching football games while the other guy likes. 2. we Don't have a lot in common except/except for/besides/apart from/ aside from watching football games. ----which means that both the speaker and the other guy like watching football games. Am I right?the differnece of meanings depends on if it is a negative form or a positive form at the beginning. Thank you!
