To look into

Some problems are bigger than others

I missed this update. I will have to look into that. 

This phrasal verb means, “to examine the facts about a problem or situation”. 

It’s like “investigar” o “averiguar” in Spanish. 

  • Ha habido un problema, lo tendré que investigar
  • There has been a problem. I will need to look into it
  • There has been a problem. I will need to investigate it. 

Also, it’s inseparable (you can’t separate it):

  • If we don’t look into it, we will not find the problem.
  • If we don’t look it into, we will not find the problem.

Let’s look at some more examples:

  • Could you look into the issue with the supplier?
  • Look into it quickly, I need answers. 
  • When we looked into his payment irregularities, we found problems. 
  • I wish I could look into this further, but I can’t. 

Great work. Now let’s look into the next phrasal verb… 🚴
