What is the author's (may Allah have mercy on him) purpose in multiplying the examples in a single issue?

The questioner : The author said: "The people stood up except Zayd," meaning he confronted it in the two examples!
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
The questioner : And the grammarians do not bring it up except for a purpose. What is the purpose of that?
The Shaykh : The purpose is that it is for beginners, and the more examples you multiply for beginners, the clearer it becomes for them.
The questioner : That is generally the case.
The Shaykh : Generally, "The people stood up except Zayd," and he said: "The people went out except 'Amr." Is "went out" the same as "stood up"?
The questioner : No.
The Shaykh : Yes, very well.
The student: The people are the same as the group.
The Shaykh : No, no, "the people" is more general than "the group."
The reader: "And if the sentence is incomplete, it is according to the factors, such as: 'None stood up except Zayd,' 'I did not strike except Zayd,' and 'I did not pass by except with Zayd.' And the exception with 'ghayr' (other than), 'suwa' (except), 'siwa' (except), and 'sawa' (except) is in the genitive case, and nothing else. And the exception with 'khalā' (except), ''adā' (except), and 'hāshā' (except) allows for the accusative and genitive cases, such as: 'The people stood up except Zayd' (accusative) and 'Zayd' (genitive), and 'except 'Amr' (accusative) and ''Amr' (genitive), and 'except Bakr' (accusative) and 'Bakr' (genitive)."
