Question

using が   instead of を !
hello ,im wondering why we used がinstead of を
仕事が終わってから、日本語教室へいきます

is it right to say： 仕事を終わってから、日本語教室へいきます

Answer

In this case, 仕事が works as a subject, and 仕事を works as an object.
So, you should say "仕事を終えてから、日本語教室へいきます" to use 仕事を.

Answer

I think it's about time for you to learn Japanese tansitive and intransitive verbs.

Answer

In English, 'to finish/end' is both transitive and intransitive. In Japanese they're different verbs.

終わる is intransitive, so it's used with が
仕事が終わる = work is finished

The transitive form is 終える and it's used with を
仕事を終える = to finish work
