The personal pronouns labelled "object of preposition" above are always employed after a preposition, and most prepositions govern those pronouns, but a few of them require subject pronouns. For example, prepositions denoting exception, such as "afora", "fora", "excepto", "menos", "salvo", and "tirante". In those cases, the subject pronouns "eu", "tu", "ele", "ela", "eles" and "elas" are used. Examples: "Todos foram ao cinema excepto eu", "Ele referiu toda a gente excepto ele mesmo" (not *"Ele referiu toda a gente excepto si"), but "Ele referiu-se a toda a gente excepto a si", "Falaste a todos menos a mim", "Falaste com todos menos comigo" (not *"com eu").
