Go into/help
Message from bank posted on 13-05-2013 at 23:44:07 (D | E | F)
Hello, everybody!

Could you help me please with my question?
I'm not sure if one could use "go into" when one wants to say that someone changes their location and goes inside a house. I know that "into" is used after "go" idiomatically. (go into action, go forth into the night, go into debt)
But I'm not sure if it is OK to say, "He went into the room" or "He went into the house" where "into" is used in physical meaning.
I hope you get me.

Hello.

Technically, "into" should be used with verbs of motion, but "in" is common as well.

See you.

Hello,
Thank you for reply.
I think the verb "walk" is a verb of motion, so if one says,"I walked on the roof/road/", "Walk in the room", could "on"/"in" mean "onto"/"into" here? (Like "Steep in/into the room" "I steped on/onto the roof/road")

Hello
The difference is to describe the motion of an action versus the action :
"He went into the house" because it describes a person going from the outside to the inside.
"He walked on the road (and not in the grass)." versus "He walked onto the road (from the sidewalk)."
Hope this helps

But I know what "onto" means.
I ask about "He walked on the the road" could mean "He walked onto the road" like "on" means "onto" after "jump" or "go".
He went on the road="He went onto the road"
"Cat jumped on the roof"="Cat jumped onto/upon the roof"
Could "He walked on the road"="He walked onto the road"?
Could "He stepped on the road"="He stepped onto the road"?

Hello
There is "acceptable" and "more correct". We typically use on for the action of being on something, and onto for the action of moving from something onto something else, mostly to avoid confusion.
For instance, with the sentence "The fox jumped on the trampoline.", this could mean :
"The fox jumped up and down on the trampoline." Link

or :
"The fox jumped from the ground onto the trampoline."

Is this more clear now ?
