minute-to-minute

By minutes to minutes passed, things are changing to present form from the past.

I become a teacher minute-to-minute.

minute minute

An extremely short amount of time. The first word "minute" is pronounced with the emphasis on the first syllable, followed by a soft second syllable. The second word "minute" is pronounced with the emphasis on the second syllable, and a soft first syllable. This sounds like, "MINute minUTE."

I cannot believe time has passed. That was like a "minute minute"
