Discover LudwigThe phrase "close to do" is not a commonly used expression in written English.
It is grammatically incorrect and does not make much sense on its own. However, you could use it as part of a longer sentence, such as: "I am close to do finishing this project." This could be corrected to "I am close to finishing this project." or "She is close to do achieving her goal." This could be corrected to "She is close to achieving her goal." In these examples, "close to do" means "almost" or "nearly." However, it would be more natural to use alternative words such as "near" or "about to." For instance, "I am near to finishing this project" or "She is about to achieve her goal."
