Hello Nga!
These are correct examples:
- Almost *all* women like shopping for clothes.
- Most women like shopping for clothes
- Most of my friends like shopping for clothes
- Almost all of my friends like shopping for clothes
The word "all" implies total. If you are talking about a majority, the word "most" works well. For the same meaning, you can say "almost all". Without "all" the word almost does only implies that something is "not quite" or "very near". So "almost women shop" does not make sense as you do not quantify what is "very near". However, "almost all women" means "very near all of the women".
Hope this helps :]
