课程摘要
差一点儿 means 'almost' or 'nearly'; something was very close to happening.
Use 差一点儿 before a verb phrase to say an event nearly happened: 差一点儿迟到, 差一点儿忘了. With bad results, it often means luckily it did not happen. Context decides whether the thing actually happened, so add 没 if you need to be clear.
