Hi, hey would it be correct to say "i finished school in 2000" or should we use just the word "to leave" in this context? thanx Both are commonly said where I live. But if you look carefully at the words, 'finish' suggests more that you completed all the grades, whereas 'leave' has the possibility that you left before completing all the grades.
