Is it possible to say "last one minute" or "last one hour"?

Thanks

I shouted to the kids, "Last one minute before your time is up."

I shouted to the kids, "Last one hour before your time is up."

Are they both right or should I remove the word "one".

Thanks

Neither is correct but nor is your suggested revision.

"One more minute/hour and your time is up!"

I see you have asked the same question here.


We recommend posting a question on one forum only initially. If you do not get a satisfactory answer from that forum and you feel that you have exhausted its possibilities, then of course trying a different forum might help. It is only courteous however, to tell the second forum that you have already asked the question on another forum and then give a precis of the answers you received there, or provide a link to it, along with an explanation of why you are now looking elsewhere.

In Hong Kong people usually say “I will endeavour / do my best until the last minute”, to show how strong their determinations are.

Is this expression also used by English speaking people?

No. "I will do my best" is commonly used though.

If absolutely necessary, consider:
I will continue to do my best till the very end.
