When he walked into the room, the situation unfolded itself.

The situation had been "unfolding" for a little more than three hours.

Second, look up and appreciate the situation unfolding around him.

Of course, there is no way to predict whether such a situation will unfold.

For the next ten minutes they watched in silence as the situation unfolded.

While that situation was unfolding other incidents were occurring on the ice.

The first quarter of the film does just that as the characters and situations unfold.

A similar situation unfolded in 1973, when inflation raised the cost of traditional meats.

I'm very annoyed by the way this whole situation unfolded.

Whatever situation is currently unfolding on the station, I'll soon have it resolved.
