Trouble With Conditional Statement

[refiking]

I am trying to use these conditional statements, but the error I keep getting is about a parse error.  Here is the relative snippet of code:

if(1 < $time < 40){
$ret = $time . ' seconds ago';
}
if(41 < $time < 60){
$ret = 'about a minute ago';
}
if(61 < $time < 120){
$ret = '1 minute ago';
}
if($time > 120){
$ret = round($time / 60). ' minutes ago';
}

if($time < 40) {
    $ret = $time . ' seconds ago';
} else if($time < 60) {
    $ret = 'about a minute ago';
} else if($time < 120){
    $ret = '1 minute ago';
} else if($time > 120) {
    $ret = round($time / 60). ' minutes ago';
}
