when you have finished vs when you are finished

Hello,

what is the difference between both sentences of my subject?

Thanks

Hi Johan,

'When you have finished' suggests you have completed a particular task. 'When you are finished' suggests when you are ready/prepared.

Also "to be finished" = "to be killed" Smile
