When to use INTO and ONTO in English? - English Grammar Rules

hi there welcome to Harry's world of words and phrases and English in a

Minute we're going to look at prepositional phrases two in particular

into one word I N T O and onto one word O N T O and how we can we can use them

they can get confused because they look alike and they they sound alike but

in both cases they're prepositional phrases of action something happens for example

I walked into the room there's an action coming into the room I climbed onto the

roof the action of getting up onto the roof into onto. we can use them in and

on but that means something is actually already happened I'm sitting in the room

the pen is on the table it has already happened there's no further action and

also remember we can split it and say IN TO I N space T O, ON TO O N space T O in the

following ways I drove on to the next village to get some petrol I walked in

to complain I N O N ok that's all for today and
