Learn English – “go ON / TO / ONTO the list”

prepositions

In the following situation, which of the three prepositions would you use?

A friend of yours makes you listen to a song that you like so much you say:

This goes straight on my playlist.

Now my question is, is on the right preposition to use here? Or should be onto or to?

Best Answer

It depends.

I would say that the following seems more frequent for your example:

this goes straight to my playlist

If you are adding something, you may say:

add this track to my playlist.

If you are telling that some track isn't there, you may say:

this is not on my playlist.

onto is generally used when there's a physical movement.

The jockey jumped onto the horse.
