Hello,
Do you think that turn out can be used instead of play out in this sentence: "They were arguing violently and nobody knew how the situation play out"? I personally wouldn't use turn out in this sentence.

The bad thing is that "play out" sound better to me and I don't know why. Things couldn't get worse.

I don't know why either. I suppose it could be because 'play out' focuses on the continuing development of the situation whereas 'turn out' focuses only on the final result.
