turns in

Hands over; beds

Turns in covers several everyday actions involving submission or retirement.

To turn in work is to submit it: I turned in my essay just before the deadline.

To turn someone in is to report them to authorities: She turned him in to the police.

To turn in for the night is to go to bed: I'm exhausted—I'm going to turn in early.
