The last bus leaves at eleven o'clock. It's about eleven o'clock now. Hurry up!
Should I use 'almost eleven' ?
Thanks in advance.
@tanguatlay,
If it's 'about eleven' it might be just after eleven, so 'almost eleven' would be better in this context. I would probably say 'nearly eleven'.

About eleven for before eleven is absolutely correct around here, and it may be colloquial... But what is wrong with that... It is best is people write as they talk..
Stumble It!
