I agree with Jim, too.
Though the addition of "both" in the sentence does make it clear that the sentence is about two brothers (and not more than two), the current placement of the word "both" in the sentence seems a bit odd to me, too. It would be better after "will".

Test No. incompl/elem-5 "Finish/End", answer 1
The brothers will finsih school both together at the end of this year.
Correct answer: (c) finish
Your answer was: incorrect
your sentence:
The brothers will end school both together at the end of this year. |
By the way, when a test-taker is given the solutions to the test, the word "finish" is misspelled (i.e. there is also a typo that needs fixing in this test):

Hi Nada,
When are you going to obey basic grammar rules and start each sentence with a capital letter and put a full stop at each sentence? Also, the word 'i' does not exist in English. Why are you using it?

Hi Torsten,
My score was 5 of 10, it's terrible really, but for me it's still difficult to make a difference between "end" and "finish". I'm sure that next time my skore will be better, but unfortunately it's becouse of my "eye memory" |

Dear Torsten,
My name is Bon. I am from Vietnam. As you known, I really want to study English and improve my English skills as fast as possible. It's great to hear that you ready to help me. Thank you very much.
After 3 times of trying I have already finished "end or finish" test. I have answered 8 questions out of 10 correctly (3 at first, 4 at second and 8 at third time). In my opinion, the different meaning between "end & finish" are: End is mentioned to a finished process, but finish is mentioned to a finished work.
My grammar in writing of mine is not good. I am very please if you can correct it for me, Torsten.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best regadrs,
Le. QB. |

Sorry,
I must correct a mistake I have already made in a few minutes ago: It is "My grammar in writing is not good", not "my grammar in writing of mine". |
