@soliloquist I corrected this sentence, is it ok now? ^^'

Sorry for the late reply. I linked this to a new sentence.

Neredeyse yakaladım/yakalıyorum/yakalayacağım = I'm about to catch

Neredeyse yakalamıştım/yakalıyordum/yakalayacaktım = I almost caught (but I didn't)

Using 'yakaladım' may seem weird here (it's indeed in the simple past form), but that's how it's often used with 'neredeyse' to refer to near future, especially if the sentence has a positive meaning.

Similar examples:

Neredeyse geldik = We're almost there

Neredeyse bitirdim = I'm almost finished / I'm about to finish
