Forgive me if it's a stupid question, but English is not my native language.
Is it correct to say :
I'll be there 51 minutes
or
I'll be there in 51 minute
?
Update:Thank you. I got confused because in my language it is the last digit that determines if the noun after the number is plural or not. So, in my language (Serbian) we would say "51 minut" (singular). Thank you all again.

51 minutes. And no, it's not a stupid question. Good luck.
51 minutes
"51 minutes", because it's not the "1" that you are going by, but all the minutes together, 51 of them.
Its correct to say 51 minutes, because it is plural.
Only say minute if it is 1, that's singular.
51 minutes. cos is plural
51 minutes. Anytime you pluralize something, add an "s"
obviously is 51 minutes. (:
"I'll be there in 51 minutes."
"I'll be there in 51 minutes."
