Hello,
I am little confused with the usage of "End up".
can we say �it ends up that the book is lost�--end up + clause?
Thanks. |

My Cobuild dictionar says:
If you 'end up' doing something or 'end up' in a particular state, you do that thing or get into that state even though you did not originally intend to.
Examples:
If you don't know what you want, you might end up getting something you don't want.....
Every time they went dancing they ended up in a bad mood....
She could have ended up a millionairess. |
