Other than that you put in 15 minutos, not en, I don't see anything that immediately strikes me as wrong. I am not a native speaker. :) - bosquederoble, Oct 27, 2016
Sounds like Lección 3 from the Panorama textbook. These expressions with tener are there, plus a few more. - Daniela2041, Oct 27, 2016
