Why does Joe state that he’s been finishing the task?
Is this an appropriate phrase?
Joe, I just finished completing my task.
What is the best way to explain this wacky quote?
Is that possible? I’ve finished the task. Joe we
might mean a lot.
I
just finished learning to create an object, or Joe, I’m done with the task. I just got finished with the task.
or
Joe, I’ve been working on the task.
If
or Joe, I’ve been finishing my task.
Or
Joe, I’m still finishing the task.
Which all have slightly different meanings.
I’ve been finishing with the task implies
(to me at least) you have been using what is needed to discontinue your work on the task, leaving it in a state where someone else may have to take over the work for the task, but where you have not yet done enough to cease (on the present stage) for a work done by you to allow the task to stop)? Thoughts that may not follow the method you intend would be complex.
Of course, this is the sort of analysis which enables lawyers to send their children to expensive schools and drive Ferraris. Is a sentence “unfavourable” for a novel, for which I would see no particular meaning?
