Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

why do you think they should use "de" ?

The easy answer is there's no "de" because it's not needed. But maybe you misunderstand the grammar in these phrases, that's why I'm asking.

I speak Portuguese. When we say that we are close to finishing something, we use the 'de' preposition, which has the same meaning in French. Because of that, I thought it would be appropriate to use it in the phrase.

[runic hemlock]

even though it has the same meaning, it's not how it would be used in French

languages are different

for example, you wouldn't say "I had almost of finished my mission"

because that's not how you'd use the preposition "of" in English

the same applies to French here
