Use of finir in the first person

For the verb "finir", what is the difference between saying "j'ai fini" and "je fini"? Would the latter be used when you are referring to something specific later in the sentence?

When to use prendre soin de over s'occoup de

Bonjour, I was wondering the difference between when you would use "prendre soin de" and "s'occuper de". So are these both valid and are they interchangable: Je prends soin de ma jardin & Je m’occupe du jardin

Merci beaucoup

Singapour - article ou non?

Merci!

In the sentences Ils attendent son arrivée and Ils s'attendent à son arrivée ... why use the feminine arrivée, when Ils (not elles) is the subject and HE is the one arriving. Merci

Plural partitive?Some sources name a "plural partitive" - des. This lesson doesn't though. I can't really see how something could be uncountable and plural at the same time. Would you agree?

Vous_____ me le direIn the test for the above, the translation reads as 'You shouldn't have told me'. Shouldn't the translation have been ' You shouldn't have told me that'? I am trying to see where the 'le' fits in the translation given.
