finish or finish with?

What's the difference in usage between finish and finish with?

Can I say "finish with my study"? In what situation, you can use "finish with"?

By the way, should the question above be "In what situation you can..." or " In what situation can you..."?

Thanks!

"Finished" just means ended. I finished the book I was reading, you have finished your studies. "Finished with" has a sense of no longer having any use for something.
