Hi Blue!

In a normal conversation we could use I am finished or I have finished. I am finished is less formal than I have finished. In this example I am finished is used to emphasize that the situation is complete. I have finished would suggest that I have completed something I was doing.

In a more formal situation it would be preferable to use I've finished.

Teacher, in the right answer of number nice, I don't understand why you used "I'm finished", I think it is "I've finished". Can you explain to me?
