French "windows" can, because they can be doors and open onto terraces, and therefore can be said to give onto a terrace. But not a lake. And fyi, give into is a phrasal verb that means concede. | |

As for "look (out) onto" you can find the example here idioms.thefreedictionary.com/look+out+onto. | |
