After If/Almost must put past tense ?

I almost died when I crossed the road just now .. I almost peed on my pants just now / I almost die when I crossed the road just now .. I almost pee on my pants just now

If I didn't go tomorrow then she will be angry / If I don't go tomorrow then she will be angry ?

Hello JustForFun,

It is NOT the "if" or the "almost" that requires the past tense -- it's the "just now." "Just now" means the action is in the past. That requires the past tense.
