- <p>Logically, 差点没 is not that different from <a href="expressing_"almost"_using_"chadian"" title="wikilink">差点</a>. In fact, you shouldn't think of it as a single word; think of the 没 as belonging to what follows 差点 and it makes more sense. Still, it can be a little confusing, and is worth a closer look.</p>

- <div class="jiegou">
- <p>Subj. + 差点 + 没 + Verb Phrase</p>
- </div>
- <p>Note that the "Verb Phrase" part is a desired result. So this structure is literally saying, "almost <strong>didn't</strong> [Verb Phrase]."</p>
- <p>Also note that because you're using 没, you don't use 了 after the verb phrase.</p>
