Prepositions of Place on & onto and in & into

Speak Well by Eve Rydel

Prepositions of place tell us where something is at:

I placed the water bottle onto the table. ( I use the preposition onto as there was movement.)

Now the water bottle is on the table. (There isn't any movement with it at this time.)

Jeff jumped into the pool. ( jumped into - there is movement.)

Jeff is swimming in the pool. ( He is inside the pool.)

I poured juice into the glasses. Now the juice is in the glasses.
