The affection our father felt whenever he walked on to a stage

From the Telegraph website about the death of Roger Moore:

The affection our father felt whenever he walked on to a stage

My question is this:

Why is it "walked on to a stage" and not "walked onto a stage"?

By the way, is it "From the Telegraph website about the death of Roger Moore" or "From the Telegraph website about Roger Moore's death"?

Thank you.

It should be "onto". teal lime By the way, is it "From the Telegraph website about the death of Roger Moore" or "From the Telegraph website about Roger Moore's death"? Those are both OK as far as the last part is concerned.

  • It should be "onto".
  • teal lime By the way, is it "From the Telegraph website about the death of Roger Moore" or "From the Telegraph website about Roger Moore's death"?
  • Those are both OK as far as the last part is concerned.
  • However, it could read as if they have a whole website just about that event, which I doubt is the case.
  • A comma after "website" might help.
