almost [Brit ˈɔːlməʊst, americ ˈɔlˌmoʊst] ADV When almost is used to mean practically it is translated by presque: we're almost ready = nous sommes presque prêts; it's almost dark = il fait presque nuit; the room was almost empty = la salle était presque vide.
When almost is used with a verb in the past tense to describe something undesirable or unpleasant that nearly happened, it is translated using the verb faillir followed by an infinitive: I almost forgot = j'ai failli oublier; he almost fell = il a failli tomber.
