set 2 alarms
Is this natural?
She set 2 alarms at 10 minute interval.
She set 2 alarms at 10 minute interval.
Top answer
I would not say the sentence in this manner. Intervals, not always, but generally refer to more than one intervening period. However, since there are only two alarms there is only one period of time between them.
