(Grammar help) meaning of "into"

[Sylph]

"Into" is a compartmentalized pair of adjectival nouns in the active-present, active-past auxiliary verb form:

"He goes in" - Shows movement
"He goes to" - Shows destination
"He goes into" - Shows movement within a space/time

So "Into" does essentially the job of the words "in" and "to", with the added case of a specific thing occurring or that already occurred.

"He moved in the house" - This just shows us motion and really not much else, though we can infer that he's living there, but grammatically it's incorrect.

"He moved into the house" - This shows a completed motion to a specific destination (the House) and so we know he's moved to the house and lives in it.


This rule can apply for a lot of things, such as with the phrase in your question, because it has to do with a specific time and in this case movement of the Trial.

So it's used more idiomatically in that sense, than in the literal example I gave.


English doesn't follow rules the same as most other languages do, especially ones from the Asian language family. (Trust me gurl, I know Japanese lol)
