Forms ask you to write information in their spaces.
The idea
Fill in means complete a form or write information in a space. With a noun, say fill in the form or fill the form in. A pronoun goes between the two parts: fill it in. The past is filled in.
Examples
- Please fill in the registration form.
- I filled in my address carefully.
- Can you fill the form in today?
- We filled it in at the desk.
- The visitor is filling in the date.
- She forgot to fill in the last box.

Watch out
Do not say fill in it: a pronoun must go between the verb and particle. This lesson focuses on forms, not replacing a person.
