I'm wondering what is the difference between "almost all" and "most of. How are they used?

Please help me with this.
Thanks a lot in advance.

.
'Almost all of' is more than 'most of'. We cannot really set a definite percentage-of-'all' value for these phrases, but 'most of' is generally taken to be well over 50%, while 'almost all of' is nearly 100%.
