  1. My work is done exactly in 10 minutes.
  2. I have done my work exactly in 10 minutes.
  3. I did my work exactly in 10 minutes.
  4. I spent exactly thirty minutes doing my work.


  • Are all sentences correct?
  • and is the place of ''exactly'' correct as well?

  • I just want to tell exact time,
and if I would tell ''my work was exactly done in 10 minutes'' it means ''my work was almost done in 10 minutes''

  • Am I right?

If you say "My work was exactly done..." it means that you did your work precisely, accurately. If you say "My work was done in exactly X time", it means that you completed your work in precisely that time, no more, no less.
