almost和nearly這兩個詞，非常容易混淆。通常的語法梳理按不同情況分別討論，但這樣做有一個問題，就是沒有什麼規律，因此記憶起來很費勁。下面講得「四句真言」定能幫助大家記憶深刻。

一通大肯，兩個大否，三組不定代詞，全都清清楚楚。

一、一通大肯

1. 普通的肯定句，almost和nearly可以通用。

She almost/nearly missed her train. 她差點兒誤了火車。

二、兩個大否

2. 含有not的否定句。在含有not的句子中，可以用not nearly但不能用nearly not；可以用almost not但不可用not almost。

These are basic rules so obvious they are almost not worth mentioning.

Almost not a day goes by without somebody asking me,

It's not nearly as hot as last year.

It`s not nearly as cold as last year.

3. 含有never的否定句。在含有never的全部否定的句子中，用almost，不用nearly。

Marley and Blackwell, although they worked together for a decade, were almost never photographed together.

三、三組不定代詞

4. 在every以及 含有every的不定代詞（everyone, everything, everybody）之前，almost和nearly可以通用。

In other words, nearly everyone is contributing to and profiting from the tech revolution

四、全（all）都清清楚楚。

7. 在含有all的全部肯定的句子中，almost和nearly可以通用。

五、其他

8. 注意否定詞是指否定不定代詞，或者含有否定功能的副詞（not/never），而不是含有否定意義的形容詞。含有否定意義的形容詞，內容是否定的，但單詞本身是形容詞，不存在否定結構。否定結構是對系動詞或行為動詞來說的。

It is nearly impossible to do both perfectly

It is almost impossible to describe what took place in Cambodia during the 1970s.

9. 如果否定詞不是單個地否定副詞，而是一個否定句，那麼nearly和almost通用。

She looked so haunted, I almost didn't recognize her.

總結：

1. 如果有否定詞放在後面，幾乎次次要用almost；

2. not nearly是一個短語，意思是「差不多」。但not不能放在nearly的後面。

3. 其餘情況都是通用的。
