The words «in» and «into» are both prepositions, and these terms can be confusing to use for English-language learners and native speakers alike. But they have slightly different meanings as well as different uses. «In» generally refers to being inside something, as in:
- Adam stood alone «in» the elevator.
The word «into» generally means movement toward the inside of something, such as:
- Adam walked «into» the elevator.
Examples, usage notes, and tips on how to distinguish the terms can show how to use them correctly.
Use «in» when you mean that a person, place, thing, or animal is located inside a location, as in:
- They were already «in» (inside) the stadium
- He was «in» (inside) the house when the murder was committed.
You can also use «in» to indicate that something (such as an idea) rests within an object or another idea, such as:
- The chief value of money lies «in» the fact that one lives «in» a world «in» which it is overestimated.
«In» is used in two different ways here. In the first, the value of money lies «in» the fact: Literally, this means that the value of money (the idea that money has value) rests «within» the fact that a person lives «in» (inside) a world «in» which (referring again to the world) it is overestimated. The notion of living «in» a world is also a little tricky here. A person does not actually live «in» the world («inside» the Earth’s core). Instead, the presumption is that the person is an inhabitant of the world (Earth).
How to Use Into
Use «into» in the sense of coming toward something, as in:
- In defiance of the Roman Senate, Julius Caesar crossed the Rubican and marched «into» Rome with his army.
In this use, Caesar, with his army, is walking toward and entering Rome, in a menacing way, and, indeed, in a way that changed history. In that sense, this may be one of the most dramatic uses of «into» in Western civilization. Another use of «into» might read:
- Captain Kirk stepped «into» the transporter, and «in» a moment, he was gone.
The famous fictional character in the «Star Trek» television show and movies stepped «into» the transporter (that is, he moved toward the transporter and entered it). The use of «in» here is slightly different than above. In this case, «in» doesn’t mean «inside» a location, but «inside» an instant of time («in» a moment).
Examples
Using both «in» and «into» in the same sentence best helps to distinguish them. For example:
- After waiting «in» the hallway for 20 minutes, Joe finally stepped «into» the manager’s office.
In this sentence, Joe waited inside the hallway, thus «in» is the correct preposition. However, after waiting inside the hallway for 20 minutes, he stepped «into» the manager’s office—that is, he moved toward the inside of the manager’s office. The next example reverses the terms:
- On her way back from Detroit, Lee ran «into» a snowstorm and took a wrong turn «in» Flint.
Here, Lee was moving in the direction of something, in this case, a snowstorm. Hence, the correct use is to say that Lee ran «into» the snowstorm. He then found himself inside of Flint («in» Flint) and took a wrong turn once he was in (inside) that city. «Into» can also have a slightly different connotation; rather than moving toward a specific location, you could find yourself moving toward a situation, as in this example:
- The No. 1 way of getting your parents’ attention is getting «into» trouble while you are «in» school.
In this case, the unspecified student is moving toward trouble (getting «into» trouble) while she is inside of school («in» school).
How to Remember the Difference
Using both «in» and «into» in the same sentence can help illustrate the difference between the terms, as in this example:
- «In» five minutes, you will come to a gate. Walk through the gate «into» the field, then head upstairs and go «into» the press box.
In this case, «in» five minutes means «after a period of five minutes.» You can tell that «in» is the correct term if you swap it for «into,» as in, «Into» five minutes, you will… Clearly, that phrase does not make sense, so you need the preposition «in» here. You can also swap «in» for «into» to see the difference. So, if you were to say:
- Walk through the gate and «in» the field, then head upstairs and go «in» the press box.
That distinction is more nuanced but not correct in this example. If you say, «Walk through the gate and in the field,» that implies that you are already «inside» the field, rather than simply entering it. The same goes for, «head upstairs and go in the press box.» If you read the sentence aloud, you will see that you need to go «into» the press box before you are «in» it. Thus you need the word «into» for these two uses to show that you are moving toward and entering «into» the field and the press box.
Into: Special Cases
«Into» also has other uses in the English language. It can connote a high level of enthusiasm or interest in something, as in:
- He’s really «into» her.
- She’s really «into» her work.
- But, they’re both really «into» reggae.
All three sentences convey that their subjects are really interested or enthusiastic about something: «He’s really into her» means that he really likes her; «She’s really into her work» implies that she’s really dedicated to her work; «But, they’re both really into reggae» means that they both really like this Jamaican style of music, implying that they may have something in common.
«Into» can also communicate that something is changed or that someone changes something, as in:
- The menu was translated «into» five languages.
- Sam changed «into» a tuxedo for the wedding.
- They divided the pizza «into» eight equal slices.
In the sentences, the menu—which was presumably printed in just one language initially—was now printed in five more. In the second, Sam did not become a tuxedo, but he changed into a different set of (fancier) clothes than he was wearing before. The pizza, which was initially just one large, round pie, was then divided «into» many slices.
«In» as a Phrasal Construction
A phrasal verb is one that is made up of two or more words, which with regard to this term, means «in» plus another word, as in this often-used example:
- Sue «called in» sick.
In this use, «called» is paired with «in» to create the phrasal, «called in.» It’s important to distinguish this from the previously discussed uses for «in.» In this sentence, Sue is not «inside» somewhere. Instead, the phrasal causes the word «in» to take on a completely different meaning: that Sue called to let someone, possibly her boss, know that she was sick, and thus would not come «into» work or that she would not be «in» (inside) the workplace that day.
Other examples of «in» used as part of a phrasal construction include, but are not limited to, «blend in» (become inconspicuous), «break in» (illegally enter a residence or business with an intent to steal), «butt in» (insert oneself into a conversation or situation, generally in an unwelcome manner), «fit in» (become part of a group, club, or society), and «come in» (enter a location). In this last use, the phrasal «come in» takes on a meaning closer to «into,» as in coming toward, or creating a movement toward, something.
«Into» can, occasionally, also take on a phrasal construction, such as, «enter into an agreement.» In this use, a person is quite literally «coming into» an agreement, or in other words, agreeing to become a party to an agreement.

You should use «into» when it’s a question of location, for lack of a better word. «I went into the store,» «We went into the field of computer science,» «We drank well into the morning,» etc..
«In to» just happens sometimes. «I went in to buy some milk.» In that sentence the «to» is part of the infinitive «to buy.»
If you aren’t sure which one to use, change the «in» to «in order» and see if it still works. «I went in order to the store» is wrong, but «I went in order to buy some milk» is good.

This is explained in the book called «Common Errors in English Usage» by Paul Brians:
“Into” is a preposition which often
answers the question, “where?” For example,“Tom and Becky had gone far into the cave before they realized they were
lost.”Sometimes the “where” is metaphorical,
as in,“He went into the army”
or
“She went into business.”
It can also refer by analogy to time:
“The snow lingered on the ground well into April.”
In old-fashioned math talk, it could
be used to refer to division:“Two into six is three.”
In other instances where the words
“in” and “to” just happen to find
themselves neighbors, they must remain
separate words. For instance,“Rachel dived back in to rescue the struggling boy.”
Here “to” belongs with “rescue” and
means “in order to,” not “where.” (If
the phrase had been “dived back into
the water,” “into” would be
required.)Try speaking the sentence concerned
aloud, pausing distinctly between “in”
and “to.” If the result sounds wrong,
you probably need “into.”Then there is the 60s colloquialism
which lingers on in which “into” means
“deeply interested or involved in”:“Kevin is into baseball cards.”
This is derived from usages like “the
committee is looking into the
fund-raising scandal.” The
abbreviated form is not acceptable
formal English, but is quite common in
informal communications.

Broadly speaking, in refers to something that already exists inside something, while into implies motion from outside to inside.
Dexter was in the room at the time of the murder.
Dexter went into the room shortly before the murder.
People often use in instead of into, especially if in is preceded by an adverb:
Max went down in the mine with the rest of the crew.
This is an informal usage, but you will hear it a lot. Nevertheless, if you follow the general rule listed in my first sentence, you should be able to understand the difference and make yourself understood.

Whether to use the preposition into or the phrase in to can be a source of confusion. We’ll take a closer look at both to help clarify which is correct in its context.
Into
Into Meaning: to the inside of
Usage Example: The children jumped into the lake for a swim.
Into Meaning: toward or in the direction of
Usage Example: She turned into the driveway.
Into Meaning: indicating the result of a transformation or change
Usage Example: The caterpillar changed into a butterfly.
Into Meaning: suggesting occupation or involvement
Usage Example: Unfortunately, her brother got into drugs.
Into Meaning: indicating introduction, insert, or inclusion
Usage Example: The nations entered into an alliance.
Into Meaning: indicating a point within time or space
Usage Example: We are now well into the year.
Into Meaning: indicating a mathematical dividend
Usage Example: The number 4 goes into 8 two times.
In to
Sometimes the word in is paired with a verb to form a phrasal verb; this is an example of in being used as a verb particle. When the word to follows the verb particle, it functions as a modifier of the phrasal verb. The words in and to remain separate to convey the intended meaning.
In to Usage Examples
He turned his paper in to the teacher. (The phrasal verb is turn in; to the teacher is an adverbial prepositional phrase indicating to whom he turned in the paper. You can understand why using into here would be a mistake: We would be suggesting he magically turned the paper into a person.)
The administrators wouldn’t give in to the demands of the protesters. (The phrasal verb is give in; to the demands of the protesters is an adverbial prepositional phrase communicating to whom the administrators wouldn’t give in.)
Rachel dived back in to rescue the struggling boy. (The phrasal verb is dive in; to rescue the struggling boy is an infinitive phrase that modifies it.)

What is the difference between «in» and «into», «on» and «onto»?
Welcome back to Ask a Teacher! Many English prepositions can be close in meaning. So, sometimes knowing which to choose is hard. But, today’s program can help. Here is the question:
Добро пожаловать снова в программу «Спросите Учителя»! Многие английские предлоги могут иметь близкие значения. Так что иногда сложно понять, какой из них выбрать. Но сегодняшняя программа может помочь [разобраться в этом]. Нам задали вот такой вопрос:
Question:
Вопрос:
I would like to know when I should use in, into, on or onto. Thanks.
Мне хотелось бы знать, когда следует использовать in, into, on и onto. Буду вам признателен.
Answer:
Ответ:
That is a wonderful question! Today, I will explore just two of those words. In a future program, I can talk about the other two.
Это замечательный вопрос! Сегодня я рассмотрю только два из этих слов. В следующей программе я смогу рассказать о двух других.
It is easy to confuse the word on with onto since, at times, they can replace each other.
Слово on легко спутать со словом onto, поскольку иногда они могут заменять друг друга.
Разница между on и onto
The main difference is that onto is about movement from one place to another. The word on is not.
Основное отличие состоит в том, что onto связано с перемещением из одного места в другое. Слово on – нет.
If you ever have trouble choosing, look at the verb. Does it suggest movement? If it does, onto is usually the best choice. Verbs like drive, climb, step, walk, run and many others suggest movement.
Если у вас возникла проблема, какой предлог выбрать, посмотрите на глагол. Обозначает ли он движение? Если да, то обычно лучшим выбором является onto. Такие глаголы, как drive (ехать), climb (взбираться, подниматься, залезать, влезать), step (шагать), walk (идти, ходить), run (бежать) и многие другие обозначают движение.
Listen to an example:
Послушайте пример:
- The dog climbed onto the sofa.
- Собака залезла на диван.
This means that the dog was not on the sofa at first. He climbed there.
Это означает, что собаки сначала не было на диване. Она взобралась туда.
Now, listen to the difference:
А теперь почувствуйте разницу:
- The dog climbed on the sofa.
- Собака лазила по дивану.
This suggests that the dog was already on the sofa. Maybe he was moving around on it. That is probably not what the speaker wanted to say.
Здесь говорится о том, что собака уже была на диване. Возможно, она передвигалась по нему. Может быть, это не то, что хотел сказать говорящий.
Here is another example:
Вот еще один пример:
- I walked onto the bridge and took a photo.
- Я пошел на мост и сделал снимок.
This means the person was not on the bridge at first. They walked there from some other place.
Это означает, что человека сначала не было на мосту. Он пришел туда из какого-то другого места.
Now, listen to the difference:
Теперь заметьте разницу [в смысле предложения при замене предлога onto на on]:
- I walked on the bridge and took a photo.
- Я шел по мосту и сделал снимок.
This suggests the person was already on the bridge. They walked around while on it.
Здесь говорится о том, что человек уже был на мосту. Он прогуливался по нему.
Next, listen to an example where on is the correct choice.
Далее, послушайте пример, где правильным выбором является предлог on.
- The book is on the table.
- Книга на столе.
The verb be does not suggest movement. The book is already there. Therefore, you cannot say, «The book is onto the table.«
Глагол be не предполагает движения. Книга уже находится там. Поэтому вы не можете сказать: «The book is onto the table«.
With a few verbs, such as put, you can use either word. Here is an example:
С некоторыми глаголами, такими как put (класть, ставить, помещать), вы можете использовать любое из двух слов. Вот пример:
- He put the book onto the table.
- Он положил книгу на стол.
It has the same meaning as this:
Это предложение имеет тот же смысл, что и следующее:
- He put the book on the table.
- Он положил книгу на стол.
Onto is technically right. But on usually sounds more natural with put in speech.
Формально использование onto является правильным. Но on обычно звучит более естественно, когда в речи присутствует put.
And that’s Ask a Teacher.

Welcome back, everyone!
И снова всем добро пожаловать!
Last week, I answered a question from a reader about the prepositions on and onto. The other part of the question was about two more prepositions: in and into. So, today I will talk about them. Then, I will offer a tip on when to use all four words.
На прошлой неделе я ответила на вопрос слушателя о предлогах on и onto. Другая часть вопроса касалась еще двух предлогов: in и into. И сегодня я расскажу о них. Затем я дам совет, когда какое из четырех слов использовать.
First, here is the question again, from last week:
Сперва снова повторим вопрос, прозвучавший на прошлой неделе:
Question:
Вопрос:
I would like to know when I should use in, into, on or onto. Thanks.
Мне хотелось бы знать, когда следует использовать in, into, on и onto. Буду вам признателен.
Answer:
Ответ:
Thank you again for the question!
Еще раз спасибо за вопрос!
As you may know, a preposition is a word that is used to show direction, position or time.
Как вы знаете, предлог – это слово, которое используется для обозначения направления, места или времени.
Like many English prepositions, in and into have more than one meaning. But to compare their uses, we need to focus on two things: position and direction.
Как и многие английские предлоги, in и into имеют несколько значений. Но для их сравнения нам нужно обратить внимание на две вещи: местоположение и направление [действия].
The first thing to know is that in is about position and into is about direction.
Первое, что нужно знать, это то, что in указывает на место, а into – на направление.
Использование in
We use the word in to show the position of something within or inside a larger place or area. In suggests the person or thing is at rest. So, we use verbs that suggest being at rest.
Мы используем слово in, чтобы обозначить, что что-то находится внутри или в пределах более широкой площади или более крупного пространства. In предполагает, что человек или предмет находится в состоянии покоя, неподвижен или малоподвижен. И мы используем глаголы, которые обозначают состояние покоя, малой подвижности.
Listen to a few examples:
Послушайте несколько примеров:
- I am sitting in a coffee house writing a story.
- Я сижу в кафе и пишу рассказ.
- The iguana is hiding in the tree.
- Игуана прячется на дереве.
- Oh no! I left my metro card in the house.
- О, нет! Я оставил проездной на метро дома.
Использование into
The word into suggests movement toward something. We use it when a person or thing moves from an area outside to the inside.
Слово into предполагает движение в направлении к чему-то. Мы используем его, когда человек или предмет перемещается из внешней области внутрь.
Here are a few examples:
Вот несколько примеров:
- I walked into the coffee house and ordered a latte.
- Я вошел в кафе и заказал латте.
- The iguana jumped into the water and swam away.
- Игуана прыгнула в воду и уплыла.
- Oh no! My phone just fell into the sink.
- О, нет! Мой телефон упал в мойку.
You will probably hear English speakers using the word in when they really mean into. For example, someone might say:
Вы, может быть, услышите, как носители английского языка используют слово in, хотя на самом деле они имеют в виду into. Например, кто-то может сказать:
- Oh no! My phone just fell in the sink.
- О, нет! Мой телефон упал в мойку.
Into is more correct. But, in speech, in is a lot more common with some motion-related verbs, such as fall and put.
Использовать into правильнее. Но в речи in гораздо чаще встречается вместе с некоторыми глаголами, связанными с движением, такими как fall и put.
Когда надо употреблять on и in, а когда – onto и into: совет
And now for the tip:
А теперь совет:
Use the words on and in for position or location. The person or thing is usually at rest, so the verb usually does not suggest movement.
Используйте слова on и in для обозначения места или расположения. Человек или предмет обычно находятся в состоянии покоя, малой подвижности, поэтому глагол обычно не предполагает движения.
Use onto and into for direction. The person or thing is moving toward something. So, the verbs will suggest movement.
Используйте onto и into для указания направления. Человек или предмет движется в направлении чего-то. И глаголы предполагают движение.
And that’s Ask a Teacher.
