The verb "to finish" means to complete something or bring an activity to a conclusion. While "end" can simply mean to stop or conclude, "finish" specifically implies that the task or activity has been completed fully. "Finish" is often followed by a direct object (the thing being completed), whereas "end" can be used more generally. For example, "I finished my homework" means you completed it, while "The movie ended" means the movie stopped.

Which sentence correctly uses the verb "finish"?
- "She finished her homework before dinner."
- "They finished painting the room yesterday."
The verb "finish" should be followed by a direct object (e.g., "her homework") and, if indicating an activity, a verb+ing (e.g., "painting"). The correct sentences follow these rules, while the incorrect ones use wrong verb forms or structures.
