Explanation:
Since "end" and "ending" can be verbs or nouns, the context is very important.
Here's an example of "end" as a verb: "I can't wait for school to end!" ~School is the object that is going to end.
Here's an example of "end" as a noun: "I can't wait for the end of school!" ~The end is a noun, and school clarifies what the end is.
Here's an example of "ending" as a verb: "I can't believe school is ending!" ~School is the object and the action/verb that it is doing is ending.
Here's an example of ending as a noun: "The ending of school is here!" ~This is awkwardly phrased, but for intensive purposes, the ending is the noun and school describes it.
