Please can somebody clarify somethng for me...

Hi everybody,

Just wanted to check something. I understand that sometimes you use 'onto' and other times you use 'on to'.

Am i correct in saying though that this is not the same case for 'into' i.e. it is always 'into' as opposed to 'in to'?

Cheers guys,
