Collocations and Patterns
- '제외되다 + 에서' (e.g., 분석에서 제외되다): indicates exclusion from a specific context or group.

- Often paired with reasons or conditions, e.g., '부정행위로 제외되다' (excluded due to cheating).

Common Mistakes
Learners sometimes confuse '제외하다' (to exclude) with '제외되다' (to be excluded). Remember, '제외하다' is active and requires a subject who excludes, while '제외되다' is passive and focuses on the entity being excluded.
