Definition: Something or someone that doesn't quite make it.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look! You’ve got a great question, a curious little nook – “Almost” can be tricky, don’t you think? The dictionary tells us, with a precise blink, “Something or someone that doesn't quite make it.” Let’s break that down, let’s give it a spin: "Almost" means near , but not within! It's like a race you nearly won, Or a cake you baked, just barely begun. Think of a finish line, a goal so bright, “Almost” is the step before taking flight! It’s close, it’s near, but not quite complete – A little bit short, bittersweet! So “almost” means nearly , you see, Just on the edge of what can be! Do you understand now, my dear students true? Any questions about "almost" for you?
