Learn English – I’m finished == I’m ready

sentence-meaning

I've read about the usage of finished as an adjective and have a question about it. Does the sentence

I'm finished

express completely the same meaning as the sentence

I'm ready

Best Answer

You use "I'm finished" in situations when you know you are dead meat, to indicate you are in some serious trouble. A similar expression would be "I'm done for".

However, there are some situations in informal conversations, where I'm finished is used to indicate I'm ready. Obviously, this is incorrect usage.
