"into" and "onto"

0 Hi, 02br
00Is there a difference between 'on to' and 'onto'; and 'in to' and 'into'? 02br
00In this sentence, "We didn't want to get 'in' trouble", the word 'in' can be placed with 'into'? Is these words interchangeable? 02br
00Another questions "the sticker can be placed onto the mirror", is the word "onto" sounds right? 02br
00Can anyone please let me know? 0-

0 Hello Joeviee 02br 02br 00Your questions are a bit too tedious to answer in detail. But let me try it. I think we'd better divide your first question into two parts.

  • 12blockquote 12br 00In old days (say before 900 AD), the preposition 'in' was used in two ways; [1] a static/location 'in': (EX) I slept in the house, and [2] a dynamic/motion 'in' : (EX) I went in the house.
  • These two 'in' were distinguished by the case of the noun that followed the preposition.
