+### To Finish/To complete (~てしまいます)
+When you need to say "I need to finish something" or to complete something, use -て form, and then add "~しまいます". This is the て form of the verb, combined with しまう, which has many means, but here means to put away. So in order to put something away, it has to be done and finished.
