jonathan.oakley Re: in to or into 08.07.08, 21:56 We generally use 'into' for a thing that moves from one place to another and 'in' for a thing that remains in one place. Example: Im putting my wallet into my pocket. Now my wallet is in my pocket. Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś
Gość: ania Re: in to or into IP: *.is.net.pl 08.07.08, 22:24 thx, so realy speaking I should never write "in to" (about something moving or being moved) because this is incorrect. Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś
Gość: polishhamster Re: in to or into IP: *.chello.pl 10.07.08, 11:36 I just had a look at the English student's Bible (i.e. Mr Swan) and he says that (and I quote), 'into and onto are normally written as single words. On to is also possible in British English.' (PEU Third Edition, p244) Is that what you meant? Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś
jonathan.oakley Re: in to or into 10.07.08, 22:22 Mr Swan is correct! But, as with most rules in the English language, it is flxible mainly because for 300 odd years after 1066 English was spoken but not written by the masses hence the elasticity of the so called rules! :) Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś
