meaning - What is the difference between "I am done" and "I am through"?


What is the difference between when we say "I am done" and "I am through"? Please give examples to make the difference clear.



Answer



Done and through have been used in these sentences as an adjective. Both adjectives are interchangeable, without any difference in meaning. We use them when we have finished doing or using something. A few examples are given below:


1- I am done or I am through. It means I have finished doing or using something.


2- He is through or done with his homework.


3- Are you done or through with my pen?


Both of the adjectives are common in use. We can also use finished in place of done or through.
