1.I've all but finished reading the book.
2.I've almost finished reading the book.
3.I've just about finished reading the book.
4.I've as good as finished reading the book. |
Are those examples correct? If so, are those the same meaning?
Thanks. |

Yes, they are all good English.
They all are ways to say that you have read almost the entire book, but you still have a little left to read.
