Kimberlydo : vậy nếu ngoài ra là besides lol thanks Meap!!!
Meap : hì hì, bạn quên besides cũng là giới từ.
Whackamolee : "While the two words were once used interchangeably, beside has been reserved as the preposition and besides as the adverb since the late 18th century. But they are still confounded." (Bryan A. Garner, Garner's Modern American Usage. Oxford Univ. Press, 2009)
Whackamolee : Some critics argue that beside and besides should be kept distinct when they are used as prepositions: argument, beside is used only to mean 'at the side of,' For the meanings 'in addition to' and 'except for' besides should be used
