2 into a container, place etc:
I never went in pubs.
He almost drowned when he fell in the river.
You can put your pyjamas in the bottom drawer.
Get in the car.
She looked in her handbag, but her keys were not there.
In and into are interchangeable sometimes? Like
I never went into pubs.
You can put your pyjamas into the bottom drawer.
And then is there a rule when we should use in or into?
And could you explain any meaning difference in move the desks in / to / into the room.
