Hello @Fuga ! Thank you for your explanation as it definitely cleared things up.
I did not realize that 終わる was intransitive… I now see the reason why the causative was used. If I may ask, would it be different if I were to use 終える instead?
ゲームを始める前に宿題を終えてしまおう。
This one seems to make sense grammatically, but I wonder if it really is correct.
Glad it cleared things up!
終える has the same meaning as 終わらせる. However 終える has the added nuance of something ‘ending/finishing naturally’/‘letting something come to an end on its own without putting in effort’, while 終わらせる by itself has a stronger nuance of ‘working/putting effort into finishing something’. Because of this added nuance in 終える, it sounds very unnatural when paired with てしまおう(Let’s completely finish).
Hello!
I just saw Kaname Naito’s video on this grammar and thought it was quite clarifying. Would it be a good idea to add it to the オンライン section?
Thank you for your consideration, 良い一日を
Hi, for some reason it says my solution is wrong, is it wrong using the polite form or I am missing something?
Hey @xgc1986 !
We have just added わすれてしまいました to the list of answers that would trigger a hint so that the it wouldn’t be counted as wrong!
