turned into
Changed form to
Turned into describes transformation or conversion from one state to another.
A caterpillar turns into a butterfly; water turns into ice; a conversation turns into an argument.
The phrase emphasizes the process of becoming something different: The abandoned factory turned into luxury condos.
It can describe both physical change and metaphorical transformation: Her hobby turned into a career.
