0 Hello from Turkey 02br
02br
00One of my friends has recently told me that the following sentences don't have the same meaning: 02br
02br
00Ten minutes left. 02br
02br
00Last ten mimutes. 02br
02br
00We usually hear these phrases in the exams from teachers. 02br
02br
00I think there is no difference in meaning but he insists that there are difference. 02br
02br
00I would be grateful if you could help me...................................................... 0-
