Grammar
Except
Are these sentences correct:
1-He never smokes except when listening to Mozart.
2-He never smokes except listening to Mozart.
3-I never see you except when driving to work.
4-I never see you except driving to work.
I think in "3" I am the one driving to work, but "4" is ambiguous. In "4" it is more likely that "you" are driving to work.
Gratefully,
Navi,
