Present vs Immediate

I don’t get the nuance of ‘J’arrive dans 10 minutes’.  'I arrive in 10 minutes' is the same, to me, as saying ‘I will arrive in 10 minutes.

Bonjour Patricia,

Take a look at the link below on a similar topic: a question about ''closes'' versus ''will close''

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
