Dear teachers,

Would you tell me whether the given below usages of phrasal verb “turn in” are common in your area?

I want you to turn in a good history paper.

When the football season was over, we turned in our uniforms.

turn in = hand in = to give to someone; deliver to someone

"Why should I turn in my homework? He doesn't grade it for about a week, anyway."

"He says your homework is due on a certain day and then he lets people turn it in later.

turn in one's homework = give one's homework for inspection

She turned them in to the police for breaking the street light.

turn in = to inform on; report

They turned in their old money for new.

turn in = to give in return for something

We were tired, so we turned in about nine o'clock.

turn in = to go to bed

Thanks for your efforts.

Regards,

V.
