 Egorov's theorem

On a finite-measure measurable set, a sequence of measurable functions converging pointwise almost everywhere converges uniformly outside a set of arbitrarily small measure. For tolerance $1/k$, the sets on which every index after $N$ has error at most $1/k$ increase to full measure as $N\to \infty$. Choose $N_k$ with exceptional measure at most $\epsilon 2^{-k-1}$ and intersect the good sets. Countable subadditivity bounds the discarded measure, and the resulting tail estimates prove uniform convergence. Finite measure is essential: $1_{[n,\infty )}$ on $[0,\infty )$ is a counterexample.
