Grammar

in to, into, onto, on to, appreciate, appreciated and appreciate it

Hello

Can someone please explain to me how to use correctly:

in to
into
onto
on to

Also, how do you use these words:
Appreciated - This is past. So I would say for example "I apprecaited his help."?
Apreciated it
Apreciate

Thank you

Here we are seeing the metaphoric use of the words "into" and "onto." So the speaker is not actually getting into or onto. He is doing so in a figurative way. This use is more idiomatic.
