IN THE END

Good morning everyone and happy Wednesday.

Today we are going to contrast yesterday's expression at the end of with an expression that looks very similar, but has a slightly different meaning.

Today's expression is: in the end

It means: finally or after a long period of time.

Example 1: He spent eight years trying to pass the civil-service exams. However, in the end he gave up and decided to start his own business.

Example 2: It was another typical Hollywood film. In the end, after lots of confusion and misunderstandings, the boy gets the girl and they live happily ever after.

⇒ To get some more writing practice, I encourage you to write a sentence (or two) with this expression. I also encourage you to post your sentence to one of our social media sites (Facebook or Bluesky) and we will give you feedback about your writing ASAP.

Enjoy the rest of your day!
