讲解
There are two uses. (1) An action was started but left unfinished. It is often used as ~かけの + noun: 読みかけの本 (a half-read book), 食べかけのパン. (2) Something is about to happen or has just begun to happen: 忘れかける (start to forget), 枯れかける (start to wither).
例句

注意
~かける means halfway, the opposite of ~きる (to the end). Note that 話しかける (to speak to someone) is a separate word with a different meaning.
