Using Enter, Refund and Return

Let's begin with the verb enter. Enter means go into. If you've been using enter with the preposition into, please do read on and find out if it's correct to say "enter into".

If enter is the same in meaning as go into, therefore it's incorrect to say: The children saw the burglar enter into the house through the back door. Replace enter with go into, and you'll find that into will be repeated and you will get The children saw the burglar go into into............ !

Refund is the same in meaning as give back something, especially money.
Example: We'll refund you the deposit if you settle all the rents before the deadline.
It will be incorrect to say We'll refund you back the deposit ..........
Therefore it's incorrect to use refund with back.

Return means go back or come back to a place or give something back to somebody
Examples: Our boss will return to Kuala Lumpur next week.
She will return home after her vacation in Paris.
You can return the products if you are not satisfied.
It's incorrect to say: Our boss will return back to Kuala Lumpur...........
She will return back home..................
You can return back the products..................
