Welcome back to English In A Minute[br]from BBC Learning English.

0:00:03.250,0:00:05.360
I'm James and today [br]we're going to talk about

0:00:05.360,0:00:08.630
the difference between[br]'in the end' and 'at the end'.

0:00:08.630,0:00:12.020
We're going to go to the beach[br]at the end of the month.

0:00:12.020,0:00:13.090
In this example,

0:00:13.090,0:00:16.390
we're talking about [br]a specific moment in time

0:00:16.390,0:00:18.520
- the final moment [br]of the month.

0:00:18.520,0:00:21.570
In the end, we decided[br]not to go to the beach.

0:00:21.570,0:00:24.410
Whereas 'at the end'[br]is about the final moments,

0:00:24.410,0:00:26.860
'in the end' [br]is about the time leading

0:00:26.860,0:00:28.970
up to the final[br]moments.

0:00:28.970,0:00:31.609
Let me explain the example[br]in more detail.

0:00:31.609,0:00:33.470
Hey there! [br]Shall we go to the beach?

0:00:33.470,0:00:38.440
Sam: I'm not sure - I might be busy.[br]Dan: Did you two go to the beach?

0:00:38.440,0:00:40.870
James: [br]No. In the end, we couldn't go.

0:00:40.870,0:00:43.210
Sam and I considered[br]going to the beach,

0:00:43.210,0:00:47.080
but eventually, [br]we decided not to go.

0:00:47.080,0:00:50.090
If at the end of the video[br]you don't quite understand,

0:00:50.090,0:00:51.740
watch it [br]again.

0:00:51.740,0:00:54.743
In the end, [br]you might just find it useful.

0:00:54.743,0:00:56.301
Bye, [br]everyone!
