| we almost failed to send the doc in time |
|
Ага. Контекст рулит. We almost failed to... |
| + we were very close to not make it (in time) |
|
We nearly missed the deadline for sending/submitting the document(s). It was a close shave... |
|
we were almost late it was close but we made it we were very close to not making it on/in time we near enough did not make it |
| We barely made it on time? |
