Beg for people to finish in a home (5)
I believe the answer is:
plead
'beg' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'for people to finish in a home' is the wordplay.
'for' becomes 'l' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'to finish' says to take the final letters.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'a home' becomes 'pad' (pad can mean a person's home).
The last letter of 'people' is 'e'.
'l'+'e'='le'
'le' inserted within 'pad' is 'PLEAD'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for plead that I've seen before include "Appeal humbly (to)" , "advocate in court" , "Argue (for a cause)" , "Beg or petition" , "Say one is guilty or not guilty" .)
