In addition, we use almost with time expressions, like my earlier example " it is almost 9 o' clock", and with periods of times and quantities of things. For example, " I spent almost three months in New York", " The house I want to buy costs almost two hundred thousand pounds". While on the subject of time, I should also mention that you can use " almost" with the words " always" and " never", but not with ones like " sometimes", " often" and " occasionally". For example, I almost always go to work by bus. I almost never go to the theatre. Well, I' ve almost finished telling you about the uses of " almost", but there is one more interesting point to make. We use " almost" with like to say that two things are very similar. For example, My pet dog is almost like a member of the family. Writing to bbclearningenglish. com is almost like having a personal teacher. I hope all that helps Gareth and you now completely understand how to use " almost". |
