  • Except for three, all of my friends have studied...
  • Note that I have put the phrases in question at the beginning of the sentence.
  • You might hear them at the end of the sentence, but these constructions are less casual and more sophisticated.
  • [ At the end, 'except for three' is probably the most common.
