turn out

1. To happen in a particular way or to have a particular result, especially an unexpected one.

As events turned out, we were right to have decided to leave early.

How did the recipe turn out?

I'm having some problems at work so I'm not sure how things are going to turn out
.


2. To be known or discovered finally and surprisingly.

The truth turned out to be stranger than we had expected.

It turns out that she had known him when they were children.

I came to Peru just for a month. It turned out that I stayed for ten years.
