A: "In dog years" is an American phrase which compares a human life span to that of a dog. There is no official conversion rate, though. It is fictional and usually used for jokes. Here is an example:

"Tommy! Don't be so mean to your brother. You're on time out! Go to the corner."

"Aww, for how long?"

"Five minutes."

"What!?!? That's like six weeks in dog years!"

A: They want to talk briefly-- for about five minutes.

A: Usually you wouldn't include the "minutes."

A: "Why hasn't the lesson started yet?"
B: "The class starts at 20 past 9."
A: "Oh, whats the time now?"
B: "It's 10 past."

You also don't need to say the hour if it's should be obvious to the other person which hour you mean.
You can also use the expression for 5 past, 10 past, quarter past (which means 15 mins), and sometimes 25 past.

A: You typically use this phrase towards someone whose skills or abilities are inferior to yours in some way. For example, if two people are going to do an obstacle course together and one is in good shape and the other doesn’t exercise at all, the person who is in good shape might say, “You wouldn’t last more than five minutes out there without me.”

This phrase can be very rude or offensive if you’re not saying it to a close friend or relative. If you’re saying it to just anyone, you may come off as condescending or overly rude.

A: The first isn't right, but it kind of depends on the context:

Example:
"It is less than 25 minutes away"

"It is in less than 25 minutes" is correct

A: Very similar. “I’ll return your call in 30 minutes” is more formal than “I’ll call you back in 30 minutes.” You can use either.

A:

I'm late for five minutes is completely wrong. Nobody says this.

I'm five minutes late ✔️✔️😁 super simple, super common

It's fine to say, I'm running five minutes late, also

A: It took me 5 minutes to get there.
I’ll bet getting there in 5 minutes.

“Getting” is present tense so you wouldn’t really say “it took 5 minutes getting there” but if you do say that people would still understand what your saying.

A: @YumHemiYum yes

A: I would say that saying including the word 'for' helps make the sentence feel more complete. it is interchangeable though. just like if someone would ask you either 'how long' or 'for how long' you did something for. if you have other words in the sentence, like this: 'I walked around thirty minutes every evening', it would sound more like you had walked for about thirty minutes. if you were to add in the for, like here: 'i walked around for thirty minutes every evening', it would show that you walked around for a full thirty minutes. hope this helps!

A: It will take 30 minutes to get to the ramen shop by foot, because it’s famous we’ll have to wait for an hour

A: “How many minutes till 3 o’clock?”

A: I'll be back in 10 minutes. は、結構です。

A: the pharse you have, "it's 20 minutes by walking" is correct, but it doesn't sound natural

A: 'It's quarter to one'

A:
'We are closing on 5 minutes.' is correct. 1 minute. 2+minutes. The 's' makes it plural meaning more than 1.

This is if it is written. If it is spoken it will probably sound like...
'We're closing in 5 minutes.'

And sometimes people will just say...
'We are closing in 5.'

A: × 1. How can we get there?
✓ 1. How do we get there?

× 2. How much minutes does it take?
✓ 2. How long does it take?

For number 2, you could also say "How many minutes does it take?" if you really need the exact amount of time. However this sounds less natural.

A: × we will have a 20 minutes interval after the second test
✓ we will have a 20 minute interval after the second test

The s after minutes isn't needed

A: I feel like all of them make sense except number 2 and 5. For number 2, it sounds like you're discussing future plans but going to implies you're doing it in the near future, and later feels more "in the future" than going to. It could also mean you're going to go to sleep a few minutes "more late" than when you normally go to sleep.

For number 5, I think it might be "I have a test in two weeks" but I don't know if you mean something slightly different than my suggestion. It could also mean that after a two week period, probably after a course or some amount of preparation, you have a test. In this case, it does make sense although it's in a specific context. The most common way to say that you have a test two weeks in the future, is "I have a test in two weeks".

A: 2, 4, and 5 seem natural to me.
