How it's used
Focuses on the result of a transformation or a change in state. It implies a complete shift in identity or form, often used when describing a process that has already finished or is expected to happen. It is more informal than the written equivalent 轉變為.
Examples
He changed from a good friend into a stranger.
This place will turn into a park later on.

Common mistake
Avoid using it for simple physical movement or location changes where 變成 or 轉做 might be more appropriate. It specifically emphasizes the outcome of a change rather than just the act of moving.
