Hi good evening everybody this sentence is at present :I'm five minutes late...Correct form of the sentence:i was five minutes late....am i right???

Hello vahidvahediasl,

Both 'I'm five minutes late' and 'I was five minutes late' are grammatically correct. One describes a present situation and the other a past situation. Which you need depends on the context and what you want to say.
