Play chess endgame play chess endings training with engine

Narkefok, it's important to know in each study if the aim is to win or draw. I played the same one over and over today as I thought the aim was to find a win. It was only after I just couldn't find a win that I put it through an engine and found that there was no win. But we need to know the aim in each example or we don't know if we have solved it. Imagine if I get a draw when there was a win possible, then I would have thrown away a winning position. Thanks for your answer, much appreciated.

If you have any trouble understanding my English (I don't think you will as your English is good) but if you do, let me know and I'll do my best to better explain.
I think I understand your remarks. I will fix all the studies progressively. For example, here: lichess.org/study/t7xzLEr3 . To make sure the white wins or draws. Originally, I thought it would automatically win the white and when it was written that it was a draw, the white one draws. Have a nice day.
Update study (new examples) : Bishop, Knight and Pawn vs. Bishop, Knight and Pawn .
Perhaps it should be part of the question whether you should be trying to win or scrambling for a draw? Most endgames have one player trying to win and the other trying to draw.
Anyway I think I should try this study to learn how to win endgames like the one in this game:

My king was stuck behind a pawn barrier and I could not find a way to break through, I tried to go around but my opponent found a forced draw. :/
Stockfish analysis shows that I had a forced win for many moves.
@Allonautilus Practice makes perfect! Practice endgames until you've mastered them.

What's your analysis/evaluation of 31... g5!? Can Black win or can White draw?

As an aside, thanks to @Narkefok_Vidda for providing all these excellent studies!
