How to Use ‘Almost’ and ‘Most’

  •  I’m sometimes confused by how to use ’almost’ and most. So today, I’d like to make a note about correct examples and wrong examples.


    Correct examples:
    ・almost all scientists…
    ・almost all of the scientists…
    ・most scientists…
    ・most of the scientist…
    ・(the) scientists mostly…

    Wrong examples:
    ・almost all of scientists…
    ・almost scientists…
    ・most of scientists…
    ・most the scientist…

    I really often make a such mistake. If I say “Almost people are…,” this might imply an alien which is becoming a human. I’d like to be careful.
