Grammar
Preposition
According to English Grammar in Use by Raymond Murphy, we don't usually say "put something into", but "put something in". I've heard some people say, for example, "we're putting the oranges into the basket", and also found the following example sentence in the Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English: "A handsome green book, brand new, was held up before her and then put into her hands." Is "into" in theses cases grammatically correct too?
