Get IN (not INTO) the car (?¿¡)
Hello,
When I thought I had already figure out when to use "into" and when not, I have come across the following sentence:
"Get in the truck!"
Yes, a simple one.xd.
But I am wondering why it is "Get in.." and not "Get into.."
Could we use either one? Is there any subtle difference (which I can't work out)?
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks a lot.
