Hi! Could you please help me??
1) Someone wrote: "Put the eggs in the bowl". I was told it is better to use INTO the bowl. But I was wondering if IN is completely wrong?? Thank you.
2) Someone wrote: "Put it in the oven" I heard this expression in a children´s song, so I know it is correct. Is INTO also allowed? Are both prepositions the same?
3) Someone wrote: "Put it in the oven. Wait 20 minutes and then you can use the cream to decorate it". I would like to know if the preposition FOR (Wait FOR 20 minutes) is compulsory, of if both sentences are correct?
4) Someone wrote: The walk lasts within 5 hours.. It think that we have to omit WITHIN. Am I right?
5) "instructions on how to do a recipe". Is DO correct here? or should we use MAKE??
6) Someone wrote: Bring a fruit because you will be hungry. Does it sound correct?
thank you!!!

1) Someone wrote: "Put the eggs in the bowl". I was told it is better to use INTO the bowl. -- 'In' for movement is very common in the spoken language, so it cannot be called 'wrong', but for careful writing, use 'into' for verbs of movement and 'in' for verbs of location.
