have finished or are finished?
Hi, I think I posted this few days ago, but didn't get any answer, maybe it didn't go through.
If I’m done doing a job, should I say:
I have finished? or: I am finished?
What if I want to ask someone….Should I say :
Are you finished? Or: Have you finished?
When do I use be/have before finish?
Thank yuo so much, bye.

You can use either formula.
1.
-- Are you finished?
-- Yes. I'm finished.
2.
-- Have you finished?
-- Yes. I've finished.
The second is in a higher register than the first.
(If you are not familiar with the idea of register, see .)
