✕Common Mistakes
J'ai fini presque mon set.
Do not place 'presque' after the past participle; it must come before 'fini'.
J'ai presque fini ma set.
If you mistakenly use the feminine article 'ma' with the English loanword, it sounds unnatural because 'set' is treated as masculine in French.
Je suis presque fini mon set.
Avoid using 'être' as the auxiliary; 'finir' takes 'avoir' in the passé composé.

Cultural Tip
In French, English loanwords like 'set' are common in creative and technical fields. They stay masculine, so you use 'mon' even if the original English word is gender‑neutral. In formal writing you might replace 'set' with a French equivalent such as 'séquence' (music) or 'programme' (workout).
