I got 7 out of 10 correctly.In first instance, why did we use "finished instead of ended "in this sentence?.Then what is the difference between "finish and end".I'm a little bit confuse.

best regards

[Ralf]

Hi Pdarlyn,

Have a look here to find out about the difference.

Take care,

Ralf

In that particular question, 'both' really isn't necessary. If it were to be used at all, the best place would be after 'will'.
