Usage of 'start' #1 (permalink) Wed Jan 07, 2009 14:27 pm   Usage of 'start'
 

Say, I have finished my work at the office and am about to go home. My wife called me just then asking me if I was coming home.

Does the following sentence sound good in this situation?

1) I will start in 10 minutes.

PS: Please tell me if there are any mistakes in my post itself (including this sentence).
