I was super pissed at my teacher since she said I'd made mistakes in the following sentences.
1)We had some problems when we checked into the hotel.
I was told that it should be "check in the hotel",whereas I know it's either "check into the hotel" or "check in at the hotel".
2)This radio station is based in Chicago, which is 60 miles from here. That is why the broadcast doesn't come in clearly.
Near as I can figure a signal comes in. It hardly comes over.
3)I think the experiment supports my theory, but I need to go over the results a couple of times to make sure that no mistakes were made while collectingthe data.
I pluged in go over. I was told that it should be "go into", whereas I know that "to go into" would mean to try to get information about something and "to go over''-to look at or study again to correct it.
