Put one’s back into; make an intervention

Hi,

1) Can you ‘put your back into doing something’ or only ‘into something’?

2) Is it possible to say ‘make an intervention’ instead of ‘intervene’?

Thank you.

I think you can only put your back into "it". I would not say "He really put his back into his schoolwork." It has to be "He tried hard to get an A, and he really put his back into it."
