Question

what is the difference between done and finished. could someone explain it clearly please ​

Answer 1

Difference between 'Done' and 'Finished' There is a common English saying that goes, “Cakes are done, but people are finished.” This is to remind English speakers of the proper and accepted usage of the two words, 'done' and 'finished'. ... Back sometime before the 1700s, the word 'done' had a slightly different meaning.
