That's exactly how is works.

{tlhoS chab vISop} - "I almost ate pie" (ie "I didn't eat pie")
{tlhoS chab vISopbe'} - "I almost didn't eat pie" (ie "I ate pie, but only
barely")

{tlhoS Duj vIqIp} - "I almost hit the ship (ie "I missed it")
{tlhoS Duj vIqIpbe'} - "I almost didn't hit the ship" (ie "I hit it, but
only barely")
