Ti ringrazio molto, "pescatore", per le tue precisazioni, molto utili per me. Conosco il testo di Swan Michal che mi hai indicato, ma al momento sto utilizzando un testo in italiano, per principianti in lingua inglese.
Non si dice "In boca lupo", ma "in bocca al lupo!". E si risponde: "Crepi!"
Ciao!

Agree with the economist on that one. "Into" is used to talk about movement and position.
e.g: She ran into the living room. She walked into the house.
But there are some example which grammatically can be more confusing:
The steak is in the oven. She placed the ham in the fridge.
The most reasonable explanation is that "into" has something to where things are going (directions and destinations).
and "in" has something to do about where things are (the position of things).
Compare:
* The ball rolled slowly into the goal.
* 2 minutes later the ball was in the goal.
Regarding change, also into:
*The frog turned into a prince.
*Translate this into Italian.
But English is also a language of exceptions :)
In boca lupo
