Question about english sentence

IsabelleK

Hello,
I'm not english native speaker and I have problem with one sentence, could you please tell me if this one is appropriate?

"Time left to the police arrival"

This sentence is next to the countdown timer, and it is a description to that timer. It should mean that after this few seconds, the police will arrive.

Thank you.

synthesis

"Time left until the police arrive."

or

"Time left 'til the police arrive." (a little less formal)

IsabelleK

Thank you very much

I'd get rid of the "the" to make it more "game-like". "Time left until police arrive"

Oh God, I'm talking in "quotes" like Synth. LOL.

I would shorten it even more to: Police arrival in: (Time)

design219

Or even
"Police ETA:"

(ETA is a commonly understood acronym for Estimated Time of Arrival)

IsabelleK

Wow, so many ideas Thank you

'Pigs Parking in:' would work too.

Of course, in the Internet culture we have today, grammar is not really important:
