Is there a native speaker who could comment on the preposition used after the verb introduce?
I believe the following phrases are correct (some use "to", others use "into"). Please correct me if I'm wrong.
- introduce a friend to my parents
- introduce blood into a vein
- introduce someone to mathematics.
- give an introduction to mathematics.
As I understand (as a non native speaker), one uses "to" if the verb is used in the sense "getting acquainted with", and "into" if the verb is used
in the sense of "insert" or "inject". Would it be useful to add this distinction to the page?

- The examples above look correct to me. But then, I'm really into mathematics, more than I am, into linguistics. :-) I'm not convinced that you've covered the distinction entirely. For example, someone can have an introduction into the field of linguistics. --Connel MacKenzie 20:59, 19 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
Is "to preface, write an introduction to" another meaning? --Backinstadiums (talk) 10:23, 10 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
