Except/Except for

[Barman]

Please consider the following sentences that I have written.

1) Nobody came except for Arup and Sunita.

2) Nobody came except Arup and Sunita.

3) Except for Arup and Sunita, nobody came.

4) Except Arup and Sunita, nobody came.


Are all the sentences grammatically correct?

1) Nobody came except for Arup and Sunita.:tick:

2) Nobody came except Arup and Sunita.:tick:

3) Except for Arup and Sunita, nobody came.:tick:

4) Except Arup and Sunita, nobody came.:cross:

See above.
