beginning or ending comment?
Hello everyone~!
I don't understand the situation of the sentence below well.
My guess is about in the classroom, for example a saying from the teacher to the students.
In that case, can the sentence be said in the beginning of the class or by the end of the class? Or both?
The tense(present perfect) makes me confused.
Would you give some explanation about it?
Thanks a lot in advance ~

It would not be normal to say "I think we've finished here" at the beginning, because to finish means to reach the end . We've finished (present perfect) means We are now in a situation where we can say we finished (at some previous time). CJ
