Turned out/ turned out to be

[worledit]

Hello!
I have come across with an exercise which solution seems weird to me.

In this task, you had to use the word CONSIDER in any form to fill the gap.

And the sentence was: "Their own efforts turned out ______ better than mine".


First of all, should not it be "turned out to be"? and, what form of the word "consider" do you think fit best on the gap? In my solution it is written "considerated", maybe I wrote it wrong. I guess it is "considered", however, I am not entirely sure.Thank you in advance.

Clue: you need an adverb.

Their own efforts turned out considerably better than mine.

I thought about that, but since I've been told that and adverb that modify a verb can't go between that verb and its direct object, I believed that sentence was wrong.

"Considerably" doesn't modify a verb. It modifies "better" (adjective).

Note my corrections above. Who can refer only to a person, but whose has no such restriction.

I wonder, can we say "Their own efforts turned out to be considerably better than mine"?

I consider 'something turns out + adjective / noun' the short form of 'something turns out to be + adjective / noun'.

It's not natural. It suggests that after evaluation, it was discovered that their efforts were better than your efforts.
