Hi! How is it going? Thanks for helping me!

1.- "Do you know how to put an end to it ALL?"

I mean I am fed up with something and
I need your help.

Can I use ALL in the sentence? If so,
I also hesitate about if it goes before "it".
Like this:
"Can you put an end to ALL it?"

Should it be maybe..."Everything"?
"Can you put an end to EVERYTHING?"

Thanks indeed!

Hi Jesus1,

You could say: put an end to it all or put an end to all of it or put an end to it once and for all or put an end to it completely.

Alan

You can say "put an end to it all" or "put an end to everything". They mean the same thing, and both are correct, along with Alan's suggestions.
