Force sb. into doing sth. or to do sth. ?

Longman Language Activator shows that if you make somebody do something, you can

sa "force sb. into doing..." or " force sb. to do...; however, it dosen't explain the difference between the two patterns. Could anyone explain the difference?

By the way, this website is good with so many kind-hearted proficient English speakers. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your reply. I know there are many other words having the similiar two different ways to mean the same thing. However, being a English learner, I always wonder the difference. Since I have nephews learning English, I wish I could answer their questions that I've met now.
