    1) Most can be followed directly by a noun or the phrase "of the" but not by "of" or "the" alone. Almost is usually followed by a number or quantifier and can be followed by "of the" but not "of" or "the" alone. 2) There is a difference between "mostly" and "almost". "Mostly" refers to the majority of something being one way, while "almost" means nearly or not completely. 3) The difference between "most of" and "almost all" is that "almost all" implies a higher quantity or percentage than "most of". "Almost all" is more accurate for numbers very close to 100
