>Hello all. I was wondering about this. I have written "... putting new files into the course resources folder." >I debated with myself whether it could be "...putting new files in to the course folder." "Into" carries the sense of motion towards, while "in" doesn't. This accounts for "we swam in the ocean" (we just swam about there) vs. "we swam into the ocean" (from a bay or river). So the one to use is probably "into" rather than "in". The option "in to" can't be right because you end up with too many prepositions. Parenthetically, this is different from "log in to something" because "log in" is a verb of some sort of compound nature with a meaning different from the verb "log", meaning write a log or perhaps chop up trees. So why not "log in into something"? That's for another discussion.
