She turns 4 vs She turned 4

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'She turns 4' is used to talk about a future event, probably a child's birthday. 'She turned 4' is used to talk about a past event, most likely one where a child has already celebrated her fourth birthday. Therefore, the choice between the two depends on whether you are referring to the present or the past.
