Ah, "put". Such a simple little word but with so much power!
The past simple form of "put" is "put" itself. Yes, that's right - it's one of those tricky irregular verbs that don't follow the normal rules of adding "-ed" at the end to make it past tense.
To illustrate, imagine you have a pencil on your desk right now. A minute ago, you picked it up, wrote something, and then...what did you do with it? You put it back down. The past simple form of "put" in this case would be "I put the pencil back down on the desk."
It's important to remember that irregular verbs like "put" can be a bit unpredictable, so it's worth taking the time to memorize their past simple forms so that you can communicate effectively in English.
So there you have it, my friend - the past simple form of "put" is simply "put". Don't let it put you off learning English!
