Hello,

Even one about end and finish.

"End and finish show the conclusion of an action.
However, end is generally more final - it will not continue:
‘She ended her career as a dentist in 2006.’ (she put an end to that job and she won’t do again)

…while finish is often less final - it generally stops but continues at another time:
‘They finish class at 4pm.’ (They continue studying the next day)
BUT finish can also be used to show the conclusion of something:
‘Glenn is finishing his law degree in 6 months.’ (The course ends. He will not study after this time)"

(from: Englishlink)
