Is it correct to say "hit something into"? Can you suggest better verbs? Hi there, Is it correct to use "hit into..." in the following sentence? "The particles are hit into the dust by shrapnel." Or are there more precise verbs that can express pushing something to the inside by hitting on it? Thanks!
