Explanation
Ending is the last part of something, like a story, event, or activity. It tells how something finishes. For example, the ending of a movie might be happy, sad, or surprising. “Ending” can also mean the act of finishing something. In grammar, it refers to letters added to words, like “-ed” in “played”. People often talk about endings in books, films, or games to describe how the story finishes. The word helps us understand that everything has a final part.
