Hello Dan
Could you explain something please? At the end of this video, you said that the phrasal verb Kick off meant to finish. That confuses me because I have learned that we can use kick off to start a work, a meeting, a ball game etc....in a nutshell, the strict opposite

Hi Dan. Off is a confusing word in the English language because it can be used as an adjective, perposition, adverb, and verb.
It has so many meanings some of which are slang.
I sometimes don't know what to write ' of' or ' off' especially while using phresal verbs.

USE OF PREPOSITIONS
AT some point you have TO realize that some people can stay IN heart but not IN your life
The better you feel ABOUT yourself
The less you need TO show OFF
I made a huge TO do list today
I just can't figure OUT who's going TO do it
