Hello!
I have trouble with two phrasal verbs: end up and finish up.
I read my dictionary and phrasal verb guide on this site, but I still don't understand difference between them.
As far as I understand this phrasal verbs deal with two meanings.
First: to arrive at a particular place, usually unexpectedly
We went out for diner and FINISHED UP in a club
She fled with her children,moving from neighbour to neighbour and ENDING UP in a friend's cellar.
Second meaning: to be in a particular situation, state, usually without planing or expecting it.
I wondered where the pictures would END UP after the auction.
He tried to bribe a police officer and FINISHED UP in jail.
Both verbs are used with gerund after them.
I hope you will help me with this problem.
