Finish is mostly used as a verb to show that you have completed something.
For Example: I finished my homework. I will finish the chores later.
However, end is used more so as a noun.
For Example: My homework is at an end. I liked the ending of that book.
I will tell you when we get near the end of the trip.
Rarely it will be used as a verb. Ex: I am ending this talk.
You will almost always use finish to show that you completed something you started.

My suggestion:
To Finish, complete.
To End, conclude.
For example:
We finish what we have begun and we end it, by discontinuation.
Good question - Bye :)

The difference I have noticed is that there is a difference in activeness between the words. The word "finish" implies there was some sort of goal associated with the action, and that the action was a process. The word "end" seems to be used more loosely to describe anything which has concluded.
Generally they are interchangeable, but I think there is a subtle difference between the two.
Hope this helped :)

Well, they both are the same technically. At the end of a movie, you could say that "the movie ended" or "the movie finished." "The movie ended" is more commonly heard though. After eating a meal, it would typically be said that "I finished my meal" but it could also be said that "the meal ended." Truthfully, it is personal preference!
I hope I helped!

FINISH se aplica a las personas y END a las cosas, según tengo entendido. Imagino que esta respuesta es demasiado genérica y que existirán matices que seguro que desconozco, pero si observas los ejemplos de las demás respuestas verás que se cumple.
