Dear teacher,
Could you help me with the following sentence.
It was already 5am according to the station clock, five minutes after the scheduled departure time.
Shouldn't it be: ....., five minutes later than the scheduled departure time?
Thank you very much in advance for your assistance. |

Both are correct.
Tonight I'm going to watch Dr. House on TV.
It's supposed to start at 10 pm but on Spanish TV many programs start after the scheduled time.
So tonight I'm sure the program will start at least 15 minutes later than the scheduled time.
