Is this sentence gramatically correct? what about the "most"?
What went wrong in timing in my TP 5 (the fifth teaching practice) was that the least time dedicated to it was 28 minutes and the (most?) time dedicated to it was 39 minutes as it should have been 45 minutes overall.

Thank you in advance.

Answer

The emphasis on the "least time" and "most time" is confusing because none of the times in the range were acceptable - not even the longest time.

You spent less than 45 minutes on all of your TP sessions. The precise times spent ranged from 28 to 39 minutes.

Answer

if there is a time range that you need to use, then you can say that a particular stage in your lesson plan requires between 5 and 7 minutes which means that 5 minutes is the minimum time allowable and 7 minutes is the maximum time allowable. Using least and most in this instance does not sound natural and is confusing.
