Grammar
One day left
Hello,
1. I saw one day left on the Internet, I don't know if it is grammatically correct or not. Should I use is or omit it?
2. Is it proper if I say, got the feed back in the last minute, while he has more hours to do something?
He got the professor's feedback in the last minute, but one day is left to revise his paper and hand it by tomorrow.
I'm so grateful for your help.

2. I believe the phrase is "at the last minute". In addition, I don't think you can use "but" here, since it is not literally the last minute. I think the sentence should be: At the last minute he got the professor's feedback, which leaves him only one day for revising the paper before he hands it
