English Language & Usage Asked on December 21, 2020
Are look into and look at interchangeable? If not what are the differences between the two?
I will look at my options and see what I have.
I will look into my options and see what I have.
I will look into it and let you know. Or the government is going to look into the case.
Look at suggests that you already know what your options are and will review them, whereas look into suggests that you first need to investigate what those options might be.

In the above mentioned context,
Look into something: investigate, to inquire into
Look at something: examine
Usually, "look at" and "look into" are interchangeable. In such cases (of interchangeability) "look into something" suggests a more thorough examination (of something) than "look at something".
In the sentences you have provided, "look at" and "look into" can be interchanged.
