It is very simple
1) for human being that accomplished a task or an activity you have to use "finish",
2 )for activities that have been accomplished you have to use "end"

e.g.

The game ended. -> the game is an activity and you have to use "end".

Tom finished homeworks -> Tom is a human being or person and he accomplished an activity "homeworks" so you have to use "finish"

I hope this will help you

There is a very useful search function at the top of this webpage.
If you type the words
end finish
into the Google search box at the top of this page, then click on the 'Forum search' button (not the Google search button), then you will see a list of threads where this topic has already been discussed.
They should help you.
