Is this sentence right?
- The weather was pretty clear this morning, but suddenly the wind shifted, and it started to rain.- They were in on the incident at school 10 years ago. Back then, nobody figured out the reasons behind it. > "In on" here means to be informed about it.
But I prefer to say it this way :
>They were able to finally reveal/figure out the truth behind the incident at school 10 years ago. Back then, nobody had a clue how it could happen .
*I'm trying to use "be in on" (be involved in something) and "figure out" (discover something) > "Figure out" is better for the above sentence ."In on" has many meanings , but none actually fit well for your sentence . Google "in on" for examples.
Any help appreciated
Thanks!!
