I’ll preface this by saying that English is not my mother language and I’m sorry if this isn’t the right community, but I didn’t find a more appropriate one.

Last year I started to notice more and more people on YouTube for example using the verb “to put” without a preposition – like “Now I put the cheese” – which sounds very weird and kind of feels wrong to me. Is this really used in spoken English and is it grammatically correct?

      “She wanted to put something in my butt.”

      Seems grammatical to me unless I’m not understanding the question well enough.

        @CmdrShepard I think OP is trying to talk about the word “put” without the “in” or “on” or “above” etc.

        So it would just be “She put something”.
