WORDS OF EMPHASIS
Dialog: "She's not nearly as qualified as I am."

These words can be used in both spoken and written English to add emphasis: Not nearly means far from near; not at all. Almost means a little short of; very nearly; not quite. Nothing like means not anything like. A bit means somewhat or a little. Pay attention to the position of these words in the sentences.

1) NOT NEARLY

  • That test wasn't nearly as hard as I thought it would be.
  • In high school she didn't have nearly as many friends as her sister did.

2) ALMOST

  • I almost missed the bus this morning.
  • Hurry, it's almost time to go!

3) NOTHING LIKE

  • This tastes nothing like mom's apple pie.
  • There's nothing like a nice cold glass of lemonade on a hot day.

4) A BIT

  • You had better grab some pie; there's only a bit left.
  • I don't have a bit of sympathy for him.
