Hello! How’s everyone?
Today’s expressions often confuses English learners.
So let’s find out the difference between “at the end” and “in the end.”
We use ‘at the end’ ( followed by of ) when something ends or finishes. It can be a period of time, an event, or a place.
For example:
We’re going to Hawaii at the end of the month.
At the end of the race, some runners won a prize.
We say ‘in the end’ to show the final result of a situation.
For example:
I tried to learn skiing, but it was too difficult. I gave up in the end.
Smith couldn’t stop thinking about the car. In the end, he decided to buy it.
