Duc,
Your question should read 'what does this expression mean: with seconds to spare?'

What's wrong with 'please tell the meaning of "with seconds to spare"'?
And why did you use a colon in your offer? |

I see, but shouldn't your offer be as below?
What does this expression mean: "with seconds to spare"?
The "?" is a part of the part before the colon, isn't it? |

When you say 'shouldn't (your offer be...)', can I assume that you are referring to a universal rule in English?
