One more grammar question
 

Could someone please explain when exactly do we put 'to' in addition to 'in' and 'on' prepositions (into, onto) I have never really learned to tell the difference

thanks in advance

I haven't either now you mention it!

I think it's to do with the idea of movement eg
The pen is in the bag - describes the static position of the pen
He put the pen into the bag - describes the movement of the pen

Does that sound right to anyone else?

Re: One more grammar question
 

Yeah, I believe it's when the motion is of importance, not the place. Compare:

He went in the classroom.
He went into the classroom.

The first sentence seems to place importance on the final location, where the second seems more about the action.

yes, that sounds good.

make sure with that from following sentences.
The pen is on the table.
The pen is in the bag.

What?

Also you have two links listed there to the same site (a grammar check site, btw.) Any reason?

Re: One more grammar question
 

Yes without reason nothing happens. I just added links for who want a software help, they can access.

I'm still going to have to ask my original question

What do you mean?

Re: One more grammar question
 

I simply mean just see the differences between both to see the sentences. ok

Re: One more grammar question
 

OK. Thanks.
