Which is correct? 1. for nagging me to apply; or 2. for nagging me into applying

English Language & Usage Asked by user28 on January 11, 2021

Which is correct in the context of “special thanks to him”:
1. for nagging me to apply; or 2. for nagging me into applying.
If neither, let me know as other options also come to mind.

I recently posted a lovely photo from my citizenship ceremony, so this phrase was in reference to my brother as “also special thanks to my brother for successfully nagging me to apply”

One Answer

Mr. Leach above is quite correct. The only salient difference is the outcome of his nagging. Because of the outcome his nagging you to apply was not enough but his nagging you into applying did the trick.

Congrats on your success wherever you are. Here I would have said don't mind the nagging. It's the American way.
