Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Turn"

A: it means "you're really making me interested" (by what you're doing(or you did))
or possibly "your making me horny"

A: OK. If someone is getting something done to their hair, maybe they are not totally sure how they will look afterward. Maybe someone will ask "are you happy with how it turned out?" which means "are you happy with the end result?"

A: It means the situation changed in an unexpected way.

I asked the girl to have dinner with me. She smiled and said yes. Then she suddenly ran away. I never saw her again. It was an unexpected turn of events.

A: "Turn my stomach" is definitely negative.

Perhaps the speaker means something like "butterflies in the stomach", which means a fluttering in your stomach when you are excited or scared. This phrase can be positive or negative based on context. Using "tummy" instead of "stomach" hints that this might be the case. Without the context you mention, though, I'd consider "turn my tummy" the same as "turn my stomach", which is always negative.

A: this sounds like the conclusion sentence of a paragraph. Whatever information that is said before this sentence is referred by “these”. They all depend on water melted from ice. “In turn” here just means “then”.

A: 'In turn' has two meanings:
as a result / in return of that / as a response to that
Or
one after the other / in succession

'In time' also has two meaning:
in time for something / punctual
Or
Eventually / gradually / after some time has passed

A: In turn means one after the other, so you can use it when you're giving directions for a sequence or saying one thing leads to another thing.

So "We can learn Japanese, in turn, by using this textbook" would have to come after some other thing that leads to that result.

"In order" has a couple of meanings, one of them being "in a specific sequence."

So they can be used similarly.
"Please line up and step forward in order."
"Please line up and step forward in turn."

But you can't use in order to mean an effect of something else.

"My grandmother taught me to cook, and I in turn taught my daughter."

A: I'm sorry to be calling you so late at night, but I have no one to turn to.
That is correct. It means I have no one else to ask for help. So I am asking you.

Think of this sentence: "I turned to my friends for help painting my apartment but I can't rely on them to help." = "I asked my friends for help painting my apartment but I can't depend on them to actually come and help. So I may have to do it all myself."
Or, "I'm turning to you for help because there is no one else I can rely on."

Ask more questions if it is still confusing!! You can turn to me for help and rely on me to answer. :)
