Gramatical question from argentina?

Question

Hi i'm from argentina, and I want to know what's the difference between ONTO and INTO, and if you can use that words in a sentence that will be awesome!

Answer 1

Onto:  <put me onto your methods>  

Into:  <put that bag into the car>

Into can also be used the same as onto:  <He got me into that band!>

Onto can also be used to mean: <I put the bag onto the counter>

Answer 2

"in" is like inside, so "into" would be putting something inside something "I will put the toys into the toy box".

"on" is like "on top", so "onto" would be putting something on top of something.  "I will put the book onto the shelf"

I hope this helps!

Answer 3

Onto is used frequently now, but it is not correct; it should be on to.

However, 'onto' generally refers to something being placed on top of something else, while 'into' means going or moving something inside something such as a container, room or building.

Can you put this into a box for me?

I went into the room = I went inside the room.

I got onto the operating table.

There are many cases where it can be confusing which is correct, and others when either into or onto can be used, or even the 'to' part left out completely.
