  Hello, I had a question regarding this grammar point. I found that one of the example sentences listed on the grammar point 以外 has the following sentence:

  そのこと以外気がついていなかった。

  How come they don’t use the に particle following 以外 like they teach us with the grammar structure for に気が付く ?

  Hey @drakeling !

  Just like other particles in Japanese, the に can be omitted in certain situations, especially in a casual conversation like the example sentence!

  We have just reviewed this example sentence and because we do not teach に気が付く until lesson 10 and いがい is taught in lesson 5 of N4, we have changed this sentence to 彼は言われたこと以外何もしないよ。( He will not do anything other than what he is told.), which only include grammar points taught up to that point!

  Thank you for pointing this sentence out and I hope I answered your question!

  You should probably go ahead and update the lesson to be explicit about the rule (?) / tendency (?) to use the continuous te-form in the negative, as is the case in all the examples but one as someone pointed out ages ago. You’re not teaching the grammar present in the sentences properly here. Also some mention about the relationship between 気がつく and 気づく seems to be in order. Thank you!
