When something changes from one thing to another, we use this phrase. For example, a caterpillar changes and becomes a butterfly. Water can change and become ice. It means something is not the same as before; it is now something new.
Remember, "turn into" is often used with nouns, not adjectives. For example, say "turn into a butterfly," not "turn into beautiful." Always use a noun after "turn into" to show the new thing.
