10 mins and 10 minutes are BOTH correct
This question relates to:French lesson "Expressing distance in French with "à ... de ..." = (at) ... km from ... (French Prepositions)"
Asked 2 years ago
Dear Sid,
We have just updated this lesson to remove some of the confusion.
As far as SI units are concerned, the plural of 'min' (abbreviation of minute) is tolerated in colloquial texts, (text messages, dialogues, vernacular) but not in academic or scientific literature.
We have therefore decided to accept it as correct.
Hope this helps and bonne continuation !
