这三个词都可以作副词,但意义和用法不同。 ①most adv.,意为“最……”, 用在形容词或副词

十分、非常”,most前面不可有定冠词the。

离老虎那么近是很危险的。 Mary said she read a most interesting book
yesterday. 玛丽说她昨天看了一本很有趣的书。 most还可以作代词,意为“绝大多数”。 Most of the people here can speak at least two

指在程度上相差很少,一般与no, none, nothing,
never, nobody等表示否定意义的词连用。

this girl.
几乎没有任何事物可以阻止他爱这个女孩。 ③mostly adv.,意为“几乎全部,大部分,主要地,
通常地”；相当于mainly。

nearly与almost nearly和almost虽然都可以表示“几乎”,但是 当要表示“接近”或“就要到了”时最好用 nearly；当想表达“不足”或“尚差一点儿” 时最好用almost。

他们快结束旅行了。 The sea covers nearly three fourths of the
world’s surface. 海洋几乎占地球表面的3/4。 He’s almost six feet tall. 他差不多有6英尺高。

“差一点儿”还是用almost确切。

用nearly,但可以用almost。
