Turn out and Turn out to be?

turn out 除了解作「結果」，還可以表示「事情的發展」和「產生出來」，跟adv都可以。

turn out to be 跟住要adj.

例如：
things turn out well.
things turn out to be good.

另外
I turn out to be a XXX person/a doctor
但不能I turn out XXX person/a doctor.

Turn out differently跟Turn out different跟Turn out to be different當然沒有分別，因為個different/differently都是adj.只是語氣上的分別：
Turn out differently有點慨嘆 (exclamation)
Turn out different是表達客觀事實 (statement)
Turn out to be different是表達主觀引證(confrimation)

這些未必讀grammar書會學的，看多些小說和論文留意相類同的意思作者用甚方法增加感染力。

For the purpose of compariing 'turn out' and 'turn out to be', use of the first definitiion of 'turn out' (i.e. to indicate a result) is more appropriate.

The sentence structures are as follows:

... turns out + comparative adj. (e.g better, worse,different, smaller, larger, ...)
e.g. His work turns out good. The result turns out different. (The sentence 'Things turn out differently (differently is an adverb)' is therefore wrong.)

... turns out to be + object
e.g. Obama's decision to exploit offshore oil fields will turn out to be a disaster.

兩個意思一樣：「結果」。

Things turn out differently 和 Things turn out different 亦是。
