Into/In To; Onto/On To

          The pairs into/in to and onto/on to cause a lot of confusion for writers, but much of that confusion can be cleared up if you focus on exactly what you are trying to say.

A. IN TO vs. INTO:

          I. Into is a preposition. In a sentence, the preposition
into will be part of a prepositional phrase consisting of
into + its object + any modifiers of its objects. The entire phrase it is a part of will function adverbially to modify the
verb or verb phrase that precedes the phrase.

          1. When he walked into the room, he found that the            meeting had already started.

          2. Put the toys into the basket.

          3. The pumpkin was turned into a carriage.

          II. In the phrase in to, in is an adverb, directly modifying a verb, and to is a preposition with its own object. When the word into is used in a sentence where in to is meant, the resulting statement can be absurd.
