While writing a sentence like this one, should I use "moving in to" or "moving into"? Since "move in" seems to be a phrasal verb, is it safe to assume that the right choice would be "moving in to"?

They invited all their friends to celebrate their moving in to Crimson Park.

  • Presumably your confusion arises from the fact that *to move in* is a "phrasal verb" (having the specific meaning take up residence in a new home). To avoid the awkwardness of repeating *in* to reference the location, I'd probably opt for ...to celebrate their moving in at* Crimson Park. Using into* there would be possible, but loses the phrasal verb element. – FumbleFingers Sep 25 '17 at 16:59
  • @FF No; we've had this one before. There are two 'phrasal verbs' (better, MWVs): intransitive 'move in' and transitive 'move into'. {Collins} – Edwin Ashworth Sep 25 '17 at 21:43
