Using the stars, they could find out where they were and in which direction they were going. This method worked well at night as long as the weather was good and the stars could be seen. But it didn't work so well during the rest of the time. That was a problem.

eg. —What are you looking for? —I’m looking for my dictionary.
(2) find 意为“找到”,强调“找”的结果, 其宾语往往是某个丢失的东西或人。
eg. I haven’t found my lost dog yet.
(3) find out 着重表示通过理解、分享、思考、询问等“弄清楚” “查明白”一件事情,其后的宾语常常是某个情况、事实。
eg. We must find out who broke the windows of the teachers’ office yesterday.
