When we say, “End of story,” it’s a way of indicating that there’s nothing more to discuss or debate about the situation. It’s similar to saying, “That’s final” or “There’s no more to say.”
Here are two examples in sentences:
Example 1:
After telling his friend he couldn’t lend him his bike, Mike said, “End of story. I can’t risk it getting damaged.”
Example 2:
When Sarah’s daughter asked if she could stay up past her bedtime, Sarah replied, “Bedtime is 9 PM, end of story.”
Now, let’s see two examples in a conversation:
Example 3:
Emma: Mike, can we just skip school today and go to the movies instead?
Mike: No, Emma. We need to go to school. End of story.
Example 4:
Sarah: Lisa, I really think we should reconsider our decision.
Lisa: No, Sarah. We already decided and it’s final. End of story.
So, when we say, “End of story,” it’s a firm way of stating that a decision has been made or a situation is settled and there’s no room for further discussion or debate. It emphasizes that the matter is concluded.
