Answer by Joseph Michael Pallante: Turn left! turn right! You use "turn" mostly with directions or something that moves on a pivot point briefly . Spin around, spin in a chair, my head is spinning. These are all fixed on one point and involve a rotation or series of rotations. Think of turning as the process for spinning, but to spin you need to complete a circle. For example I can turn down streets going only left or right and complete one circle, yet I had to turn at 3 pivot points. A turn has pivot points, a spin has 1 central pivot point and rotates in at least 1 circle. What's the difference between "spin" and "turn"?
