hello everyone,
here is the sentence: it wound up going through what is now a large pothole in the runway.
what does the ‘wound up going through’ mean? and how can I use it?
thank you for your answers 
Hi,
I would say: It ended up going through a large pothole = that’s where it finally stopped.

It describes a causal conclusion.
I see, thank you.
but I am still confused because I don’t know how to cut the sentence for reading. and confused about the words like wound up, going through, what is now. anyway, I just cannot make sense about these three part and why they are used in such way.
why not go through but going through.
thank you for your explaination.
After prepositions, use the -ing form.
ended up/going/through a puddle
ended/(by/going/through a puddle
ended up/having to/buy a new one
finished off/trying to/tell him what I thought of him
went through/listening to/him/for hours
wound up /going through/ what is now/ a large pothole/ in the runway.
