'at the end' vs 'in the end'

[jctgf]

Hi,

I know this subject has already been discussed here but I couldn't find the post.

Could someone please explain what's the difference?

''at/in the end of the day I felt very tired''.
''at/in the end, he decided not to travel anymore''

Are there synonyms that replace well these expressions?

Thanks!

hi,

i know this subject has already been discussed here but i couldn't find the post. i looked for it too and couldn't find it either. The problem is that people often don't give their questions a title that makes it easy to know what that post is about.

could someone please explain what's the difference?

''at/in the end of the day i felt very tired''. only "at" is correct here.
''at/in the end, he decided not to travel anymore'' only "in" is correct here.

are there synonyms that replace well these expressions?
in the second sentence, "in the end" means 'finally', 'after all'.

thanks!
