in, into: difference

The difference between in and into is whether or not there is movement. Into is used when something or someone is going or being put into another location. In is used to describe where someone or something already is.

Ex: She is in the room. She walked into the room.
The toy is in the box. The boy put the toy into the box.

A:Where’s Kalayani?
B:She’s in the garden.
I’ve left my keys in the room.

We use into to talk about the movement of something, usually with a verb that expresses movement (e.g. go, come). It shows where something is or was going:

Where’s Kalyani?
B:She’s gone into the house.
Gopika came into the room.

Compare

She’s gone for a walk in the garden. (=She is in the garden walking.)

She walked into the garden. (=She entered the garden.)

Change into, turn into

We use into after verbs describing change:
He translated the book into english.
she divided the halwa into three pieces.
Not: She divided the halwa in three pieces.
