Detailed explanation
The verb 終わる (owaru) is used to express that an action has been completed or something has come to an end. Despite ending in る, 終わる is a godan (u-verb), so it does not follow the typical ichidan (る-verb) conjugation. It is translated as 'to finish', 'to end' or 'to be over' in English.
