turn out

(phrasal verb) To happen in a particular way or to have a particular result, especially an unexpected one.

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

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


NOTE FROM THE BLOGGER: Go to "Listening" and listen to Bill Vlasic's report on General Motors reporting a second-quarter loss of $15.5 billion.
