R.It's not that I must use "done" for "finish". I hear people saying different things. I'm just curious to know if it's acceptable.
I know. I'm just signalling my dislike for it. However, you'll find it common in AmE.
Is it possible to use "going to" for "will" with "to be done"?
It's possible. "Just wait. I'm going to be done with this soon."
But "going to" tends to express more volition than mere futurity. So, I'd say, "I'm going to stop this soon" (because I choose to), but "I'll be finished (done) with this soon" (because the works almost done).
I think this is possible.It's not true that I must use "done" for "finish". I hear people saying different things. I'm just curious to know if it's acceptable.

You can't say that. It possible to say, "I'm not going to be done till 10".I am going to be done with this job till 10 o'clock. (Decided yesterday)
/A learner/
I think this is possible.
I am going to be done with this job till 10 o'clock. (Decided yesterday)
But I also think this doesn't mean the job is finished at 10 o'clock.
Could be either finished or postponed.
You can't say that. It possible to say, "I'm not going to be done till 10".
It's not that I must use "done" for "finish".Why would you put in "true"? It's got nothing to do with it!!
It's not that I must use "done" for "finish".
All right. Is "that I must use done for finish" the object here?
Yes.How about "I'm going to be done by 10 o'clock."?
