Question

The boy fell ____ the river.​

Answer 1

The boy fell into the river.

• We have to add a preposition in the given sentence.
• A preposition tells the relationship between two nouns or pronouns. We place it before a noun or pronoun.
• Examples of prepositions are on, at, in, into, and for, etc.
• In such situations as the given sentence, there is confusion if we should use in or into.
• Here we will use into because the boy has directly fallen into the river from outside.

Answer 2

Answer:

The boy fell into the river.

Explanation:

Preposition : Preposition shows the relationship between two parts of a sentence. Without prepositions, sentences would consist of nouns and verbs, but no words to show their position or location.

Example-  at, for, in, off, on, over, and under.

INTO preposition is used while entering a place, building, or vehicle; used for showing where a way leads; looking or facing towards something.

In this statement, the boy is intering in the river. so, we are using INTO

Therefore, The boy fell into the river.
