1. Checkmate.

2. Stalemate.

3. Draw owing to insufficient mating material.

4. Draw by invocation of the 50-move rule.

Am I missing something, here?

The question seems a bit ambiguous. But anyhow:

5. Draw by perpetual check
6. Draw by threefold repetition
7. Draw by agreement
8. Loss on time (if using clocks)
9. Resignation

I don't know the Official Laws; are there actions that could cause a player
to forfeit a game?

Perpetual check? No such rule exists anywhere.

Yep, no such rule. Maybe Davyd is thinking of the following?

"If the same position with the same player to move is repeated three
times in the game, the player to move can claim a draw."

"If the same position with the same player to move is repeated three
times in the game, the player to move can claim a draw."

Note the word 'can'. It's not a forced way to end the game. Compare with A1.3
(If the position is such that neither player can possibly checkmate, the game
is drawn.). This implies a direct ending of the game once the lack of mating
potential is reached.

Article 5: The completion of the game 5.1

1. The game is won by the player who has checkmated his opponent's king. This
immediately ends the game, provided that the move producing the checkmate
position was a legal move.
2. The game is won by the player whose opponent declares he resigns. This
immediately ends the game.

5.2

1. The game is drawn when the player to move has no legal move and his king
is not in check. The game is said to end in 'stalemate'. This immediately ends
the game, provided that the move producing the stalemate position was legal.
2. The game is drawn when a position has arisen in which neither player can
checkmate the opponent's king with any series of legal moves. The game is said
to end in a 'dead position'. This immediately ends the game, provided that the
move producing the position was legal.
3. The game is drawn upon agreement between the two players during the
game. This immediately ends the game. (See Article 9.1)
4. The game may be drawn if any identical position is about to appear or
has appeared on the chessboard at least three times. (See Article 9.2)
5. The game may be drawn if each player has made the last 50 consecutive
moves without the movement of any pawn and without the capture of any piece.
(See Article 9.3)

(Some versions I have seen of this article include castling in 5.2.5, since
this is an irrevocable change in a position too)

5.2.1-5.2.2 end the game automatically, 5.2.3-5.2.5 need "human interaction" to
end the game.

"Name three possible ways to end a chess game"

The above is the name of the subject. To end it, notice the word TO,
it means that the game needs a human intervention. It didn't say
automatically end the game, therefore it's not a force way to end the
game.
