Use 入はいる when someone or something goes inside a place, or when talking about taking a bath. The examples use polite everyday speech.

The idea

入はいる is a godan verb: る becomes ります in the polite form and って in the て form. 入はいりません is polite negative and 入はいりました is polite past; the non-past can describe a habit or the future. Use に for the place entered. 入はいっています can describe being inside; 入いれる means putting something in. 入はいる is godan, despite its る ending.

Watch out

Although 入はいる ends in る, it is godan: use 入はいります and 入はいって, not the forms made by simply dropping る.
