Question

Let me give an exemple, when I wanna stay inside my room. I come in at my room. So, I used IN, But I never know how to use INTO.

Answer 1

IN'TO, preposition [in and to.]

1. Noting entrance or a passing from the outside of a thing to its interior parts. It follows verbs expressing motion. Come into the house; go into the church; one stream falls or runs into another. Water enters into the fine vessels of plants.
2. Noting penetration beyond the outside or surface, or access to it. Look into a letter or book; look into an apartment.
3. Noting insertion. Infuse more spirit or animation into the composition.
4. Noting mixture. Put other ingredients into the compound.
5. Noting inclusion. Put these ideas into other words.
6. Noting the passing of a thing from one form or state to another

 

IN, preposition [Latin in ] 

1. in denotes present or inclosed, surrounded by limits; as in a house; in a fort; in a city.
2. It denotes a state of being mixed, as sugar in tea; or combined, as carbonic acid in coal, or latent heat in air.

Answer 2

The difference between "in" and "into" is quite confusing, but let me tell a few points about.

"In" is a prepostion which is usually used for something that is not moving and that's already in.

e.g. The bananas are in the refregerator.

In above example in is used with no moving.

"Into" is used when someone or something is going or moving.

E.g. I am putting the bannanas into the refregerator.

In this example I moved from on place to another.

Hi Lisa,
Perfect answer. Just want to add to this that I guess, there is a verb involved in the sentence, where we use into. Please correct me if I am wrong.
