It's simple:
Compartment of the words "in" and "to".
That becomes an auxiliary verb. "Into"
"Into" almost always follows the verb it's meant to help.
He goes into the castle.
She is 2 months into her pregnancy.
And "into" almost always infers a time when the action is or already has taken place.
Hence it being a present/past form auxiliary verb. "Active" simply shows that it implies action, as opposed to passivity:
"He wants to go into the house" -
This sentence is passive and contains 2 verbs and an auxiliary verb, which in a way negates the primary action verb wants, so it would be more grammatically correct to say:
"He wants to go to/in the house" -
As we now get more of a directional sense of the primary verb, without the uncomfortable negation of the auxiliary verb "into", because this sentence is passive.
As it simply lacks an action.
Does this make more sense my dear? I have only a Vet tech degree, but I know plenty languages and all of them follow rules pretty systematically and equally irregularly, so the are always gonna be exceptions;
However, languages aren't always logical Hun, so not even I know it all gurl.
Oh, drop the you condescending attitude "hon". The price of eggs is this: You needlessly complicated it for someone who's grasp of the English language is weak to begin with (similar to your grasp of manners).
