Como dizer "Dentro de 5 minutos" em inglês

[Lucas Vinícius]

Hi folks i would know how do say : Dentro de 5 minutos nos seguintes exemplos:

Eu voltarei dentro de cinco minutos
Dentro de 5 minutos eu irei fazer a atividade

Não sei se Inside of 5 minutes está certo.

Thanks in advanced.

[Thomas]

within five minutes = inside of five minutes
It is 12:20.
If I say that I will return within five minutes or inside of five minutes, I expect to return by 12:21, 12:22, 12:23, 12:24 or 12:25.

It is 09:30
in five minutes
If I say that I will return in five minutes, I expect to return by 09:35.

Perhaps better examples could be given by using days, not minutes.
Today is Saturday.
If I plan to return within (inside of) four days or inside of four days, I expect to return on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday.
If I plan to return in four days, I expect to return on Wednesday.

"Within" seems to be more commonly used in relation to lengths of time than "inside of", but you will hear and see both.

I'll come back within five minutes.

I'll do my homework within five minutes. (Deduzi que a atividade aqui seria escolar)

Lucas, "inside" é utilizado para local. Ex.: What's inside the box? E quando nos referimos a tempo, utilizamos "within".

Também,

I'll be back...

...in a week.
...in a month.
...in 5 minutes.

Abraços.

Inside of está errado...

Creio que, por exemplo, ''IN 5 MINUTES I'll be back'' está certo.

Quando nos referimos a um tempo mais longo usamos o ''from now''
ex: I will be in the USA in a week from now (Estarei nos EUA daqui a uma semana).

Correct me if I am wrong.

Mas como chegar a conclusão de que "inside of five minutes" é errado?
