How to Use 'Almost' and 'Most'

Feb 22, 2015 22:11
 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.
