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, 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 h-happened - there's no further action.

And also remember, we can split it and say 'in to' 'i-n' space 't-o', 'on' 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.'
