aside from... Is this understanding correct?
1. apart from...; aside from... - AmE
2. apart from... (not aside from) - BrE
Thank you.

Teacher Re: aside from... In BrE we can use 'aside from'- I wouldn't say 'aside from John', but I would say 'aside from that'.

Threadstarter / Original Poster Re: aside from... Thank you very much, tdol. That means the name of a person doesn't come after 'aside from'? 'Apart from John' is OK?

Teacher Re: aside from... I wouldn't say it would be an error, but it would be a much less common collocation in BrE.
