Hello, I am an English teacher in China. I'm really puzzled by the phrase "belong in" as in the following sentence:
-----------------------------
There are bound to be some words and phrases that belong in formal language and others that are informal.
----------------------------
What does "belong in" mean? Actually, as a Chinese, I have long believed that "belong to" is the only possible collocation for the word "belong".
Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.
