THESE DAYS

Dear all Teachers,

- What does" ended up" mean in this sentence?

2a) - I rarely go to movies alone these days.

- Are these ok to say? and do they have the same meaning?

3a) - What part of Britain are you from/do you come from?

3b) - Where are you from/ do you come from in Britain?

- Are these ok to say? and do they have the same meaning?

Thank you very much.
