[General] I poured milk in the bottel.

[Anil Giria]

I poured milk in the bottle.

Is the above sentence OK? I understand, in place of "in", "into" needs to be used but I don't know the reason. If I am correct, can you please explain why "into" needs to be used.

 

[MikeNewYork]

When one is moving something from one place to inside another place, "into" is correct.

 

[NortT]

What about such a sentence? "There are apples in/into the basket." Which preposition is correct?

 

[MikeNewYork]

"In".

 

[Anil Giria]

I poured milk in the bottle.

Is the above sentence OK? I understand, in place of "in", "into" needs to be used but I don't know the reason.

1) Can I write " this" in place of " the above"?
2) Can I use "is" in place of needs? If not, in what circumstances can we use " is"

 

[Rover_KE]

1) yes
2) yes
