Let
be a sequence of events in some sample space
. Let
be an outcome.
In the following table, all statements in the "infinitely often" column are logically equivalent. Similarly, all statements in the "almost always" column are logically equivalent.

Analogy with sequences of real numbers
Let
be a sequence of real numbers, and let
be a real number.
We say
is eventually
-close to
iff there exists some
such that for all
we have
.
We say that
is continually
-adherent iff for every
there exists some
such that
.
I think we can even define
.
