Hi!
"into" means the direction and space - into the garage, into the house
"onto" means the direction and top position - onto the roof, onto the horse, onto the shoulders

You use into and onto when you want to refer to the movement.
Compare:
The students are in the classroom - they are already there.
The students are getting into the classroom - they are not there yet, but on the way to.
The books are on the desk. (static position)
The teacher is putting the books onto the desk. (it indicates movement)
I hope you understand, now.
Have a nice weekend! |
