Trees dress or put on a beautiful outfit. When is it correct to say “dress” and when to “put on”
1. We are sure you have a little black dress in your wardrobe.. Is there a small blue, gray or green one? The choice of color depends on which one suits you best. But having a simple, well-fitting dress in a neutral shade is a worthwhile wardrobe investment. Let's say that in the evening your friends invited you to a restaurant. You don’t know exactly what format it is, and you only have an hour before release. You can, of course, wear that little black dress, but this is the most banal thing you can think of. And you will meet a lot of people there in this outfit. And if you wear something too colorful and formal, you risk looking as if this is your first trip to a restaurant in your life. In such cases, simple outfits save complex structures, bright colors, prints and decors. They are like a canvas on which you can paint whatever you want. Wear this simple dress and pair it with chic shoes.

Strictly speaking, this error is not directly related to sewing and is relevant for everyone without exception. However, people who sew and are interested in fashion still have to use these verbs a little more often. Quite often we hear “Put on your hat!”, “Put on this dress,” “I won’t wear that.” Let's figure out what's the catch here!
By the way, the problem is so significant that the Russian poet Novella Matveeva even dedicated an entire poem to it!
“Put on”, “put on”... Two words
We confuse so stupidly!
It was a frosty dawn,
The old grandfather dressed in a fur coat.
And the fur coat, therefore, is on.
“Put it on”, “put it on”... Let’s take a look:
When to wear and what to wear.
I believe that on my grandfather
Three fur coats can be worn.
But I don't think that grandfather
Can be worn on a fur coat!
What do dictionaries say?
So both of these words have every right to exist, however, despite the similarities, they are used slightly differently. According to Ozhegov's dictionary, the word "dress" has the following meanings:
1. someone into something or with something. Cover someone with some kind of clothing or blanket. For example, dressing a child in a coat.
2. whom (what). Provide clothes. For example, dressing someone with taste.
Regarding "put on", the values are:
1. Fasten something to something, attach, attach something to something. For example, put a ring on a finger.
2. Cover the body or part of the body with some clothing. For example, putting a sweater on a child.
On the one hand, knowing the exact dictionary meanings is useful, but on the other hand, we must admit that they do not completely clarify the situation! The meanings are as similar as the words themselves, and ultimately it is not entirely clear which option is correct, “I put on a dress” or “I put on a dress.”
To help those who doubt
Many people may remember a simple tip from their school days: we dress others, we put them on ourselves. But this formulation can be deceiving! For example, the phrase “I put a Panama hat on a child” is wrong, although one can be indignant at how wrong it is if I put the Panama hat on someone else, not myself!
It is better to use another version of the “remembrance”: Hope is put on, clothes are put on. The example about Nadezhda is very successful, because it tells us another feature, the difference between two verbs: “to dress” is used with animate nouns (and with inanimate likenesses of a person: doll, mannequin, etc. and with body parts, for example, “to dress hand into a glove"), and “put on” - with inanimate ones.
Let’s put the rule into practice: “I put on dress(inanimate)", "I put on Panama hat(inanimate) on the child" and "I dressed baby(soul.)".
If you suddenly forget the rule itself, remember that Nadezhda is dressed, and clothes are put on, and that the point here is animation.
And, of course, don't forget that speech errors do not define our personality, character, and even more so our professionalism in the field of sewing, but every new day is a chance to become better than yesterday in a variety of areas.
Use of the words dress and put on.
In the Russian language there are verbs such as dress and put on. Many of us use them without even thinking about the fact that these two verbs are slightly different from each other, so they cannot be replaced. The words are paronyms, that is, they have same value, but are used absolutely different cases. Below we will look at in what cases it is worth using the word put on, and in which to dress.
To put on or put on clothes, things - how to speak, write correctly: the rule of the Russian language
Most often verb put on used in relation to inanimate subjects.
For example, items of clothing, that is, it is correct to say put on ( What?) a hat, put on gloves, put on mittens.
If we're talking about about animate objects, about a child or about a person, then the word is used dress. That is, you need to wear ( whom?) child.
Despite these rules, there are some exceptions.
For example, mannequin and doll are considered inanimate objects, but the fact is that the word “dress” is used for them, not put on.
In these cases, the word put on is inappropriate to use.

What is the difference between the verbs dress and put on, dress, put on: comparison
The verb to dress and to put on have the same meaning, but are used in different cases. There are also special rules checks. That is, you can take off some clothes, so for this word you need to use the antonym put on. That is, put on and take off your hat.
If used in context a child or some other animate object, then the check word is undress - dress.
For example:
Undress a child or undress a doll.
It is stupid to use the verb undress for words such as hat or gloves. Nobody tells you to take off your gloves or take off your hat.
You can undress someone, but you can take something off. Accordingly, you can wear something, but you can dress someone.
To put on or dress: how to spell the verb in the past tense?
Verbs put on or dress have the same meaning as dress And put on, dressed, put on- are used in the same cases.
For example:
I put on my hat and dressed my daughter.
But unlike the words dressed and allotted, the verbs to put on or dress can be used in relation to animate and inanimate objects.
It's more correct to say put on clothes, but very often used put on a dress, put on a suit. Such phrases are quite appropriate, used and do not contradict the rules.
Is it right to put it on yourself, put it on someone, put it on a shirt, put it on Natasha?
There is one of the cute and unusual proverbs that is used to test the use of the words put on and clothe.
Dress Natasha, put on a shirt.
Actually the word dress used in relation to a living person, and the word put on some object or thing. These rules are also used in the case of using the verbs to put on oneself or to put on something.
If in a sentence you want to say, I want to put on a shirt, then we are talking about an inanimate object. You put on yourself ( What?) shirt or dress, put on a coat, robe, slippers, outfit, gloves. You can wear ( whom?) myself. I dress myself.
Correct spelling of words to put on or dress: examples
In general, in some cases the use of the verbs to put on and dress is quite comical. For example, you can say this: grandfather put on a fur coat or grandfather put on a fur coat. The first option is more correct, because it refers to an inanimate object, that is, a person put some object on himself. If you decipher it, then it is correct in full version should sound like this:
- The girl put on a fur coat.
- The girl dressed herself in a fur coat.
- Oksana put on headphones and overalls.
- The businessman forgot to put on his glasses and watch.
- What should I wear?
- I have nothing to wear.
- The dress was worn once.
- I put on my jeans.
- The girl is dressed in a beautiful coat.
- The girl is wearing shoes and shoe covers.
That is, she put on something. In these shortened versions, you can use the words both dressed and allotted. Although the more correct option is to put on a fur coat. Because it's a piece of clothing.
That is, if you want to check the correctness of what you said, you need to keep the pronoun in mind and pose a question. That is, you put (what?) a dress on yourself or dress (who?) yourself in a shirt, in a coat. In these cases, it is advisable to use the words dress and put on.
VIDEO: Dressing and donning
The Russian language is great, powerful and complex. Even the majority of its speakers do not know its rules and regulations very well. For example, “dress” or “put on” - which is the correct way to say it. Not everyone can give examples, much less apply them in practice. Let's figure it out.
“Dress” and “put on”: rules of use
Both words, as parts of speech, belong to verbs, but are used in different cases:
- Verb " dress» used in relation to an animate being : person, man or woman, boy or girl, etc. It is also used in combination with words denoting inanimate likenesses of a person, e.g. doll, toy;
- This verb answers the question: whom? What? For example: " Grandmotherdressedgrandson for a walk", « Store workersdressedmannequin and put it on display";
- Word " put on» applied to an inanimate object and answers the question: “what?” For example: " Put on a coat (fur coat, jacket) »;
- The same rules apply to slightly modified verbs of this type, such as “ dress" or " put on»;
- There are so-called “test” expressions for the correct use of one or another verb from this series. Special vocabulary pairs are formed related to the concept of “antonym”, i.e. the opposite of semantic meanings, namely: “ put on - take off», « put on - undress" A suit, for example, cannot be “undressed.”
What do you study in a linguistics course?
To know and understand a language, it is necessary to study both the pronunciation of words and their structure and rules of speech presentation:
- Sections such as phonetics, graphics, orthoepy will help us understand the sound structure of words, the placement of stress, the display of sounds on paper in the form of written speech;
- The rules for the formation of words and their composition are studied by a branch of science called word formation;
- One of the main sections is grammar. This science includes such sections as morphology, which studies parts of speech: noun, adjective, verb, numeral, etc. and syntax. The latter, translated from Greek as composition, deals with the study of sentences composed of words and their combinations;
- Spelling and punctuation determine the rules of spelling and punctuation;
- Lexicology and phraseology are studies that help to study the meanings of words used in speech and the use of the most stable expressions;
The style and culture of speech are decisive in the practice of applying the norms of the literary language in communication.
Difference between "put on" and "put on"
The simplest explanation of how two very similar words differ is as follows:
- The expression “dress/dress” is someone in something: a baby in diapers, a daughter in a dress. “Put on/put on” - something on someone: a coat on a mother, boots on a son, etc.;
- The first verb is associated, as a rule, with an animate object or its likeness (in the form of a mannequin or stuffed animal), the second - with an inanimate one, for example, in relation to clothes or shoes;
- You can use these parts of speech more widely, especially if you include fantasy, for example, “dressing a summer meadow with flowers” or “a winter field with snow.” The woman “dresses with taste,” but there is “a riddle about the grandfather who is dressed in a hundred fur coats, and who undresses him...” - everyone knows the answer. You can put a collar on a dog, a saddle on a horse, or a pillowcase on a pillow;
- It will help to explain the difference between these two words and imaginative thinking. Boots can be put on your feet, or you can simply decorate them with colored ribbons or a scarf, i.e. “put it on,” and everything will immediately become clear.
There are some disagreements between individual philologists regarding the use of these verbs, but this is a matter of science.
Are shoes worn or worn?
Shoes put on shoes. But this option is, so to speak, “conversational”, and the rule remains the same:
- The commonly used word is “put” (on a person’s feet) shoes, sandals, sandals, boots, but put on shoes (yourself) or put on a child’s shoes, i.e. put his feet in some kind of shoes, which is confirmed by V.I. Dahl’s dictionary. In conversational terms, this is acceptable. Along with the “dress-undress” pair, there is a “shoe-undress” pair;
- The expression “put shoes on someone” also has a figurative semantic meaning, in terms of carry out, deceive;
- They also say “shod from boots into bast shoes,” i.e. it became worse than it was;
- The term shoe is used in figurative everyday colloquial speech, sayings and proverbs: the expression “puts on shoes and clothes” makes sense material support. To live “without shoes or shoes” means: neither this nor that, this way and that.
The meaning of these verbs in Russian dictionaries
There are many of them, as well as their compilers:
- The first edition of V. I. Dahl’s dictionary was published in the 60s of the 19th century, the latest editions - already in the 21st century;
- According to the compiler, “put on” means to clothe, dress up in something, throw on: clothes, shoes, a shell. Put on a caftan, boots...a needle and a thread. The following explanations were given for the word “dress”: to dress someone with something, to put something on someone, to provide clothes, to cover for warmth... “Dress me with a sheepskin coat”, “to dress the young ladies”, “the trees are dressed with leaves”, etc. d.;
- The dictionary of S.I. Ozhegov was created on the basis explanatory dictionary D. N. Ushakova. The first edition was published in 1949, the 24th edition - in 2007, edited by L. I. Skvortsov;
- “Put on” has two main meanings: The first is to put on or attach something: for example, to put on glasses or a ring. The second meaning is to cover all or part of the body with some kind of clothing: “It was cold outside, and Valya decided to put on a fur coat.” The verb “to dress”, according to the author, in the first meaning seems to repeat the same meaning in terms of covering someone with something, but with the difference that it refers to a “living” object: “to cover a sick person with a blanket” or “to change clothes for a child” " In the second meaning, the essence lies in the general attitude towards someone: “Mom dressed her daughter fashionably,” or in the sense of “dressing richly,” i.e. provide someone with expensive clothes.
Language dictionaries were mainly published and are now published by the Academies of Sciences: Imperial, Soviet, Russian.
IN everyday communication We often don’t give due importance to “little things” like the accuracy of using verbs like “dress” or “put on”; we don’t think about how to speak correctly. The examples in the article above were intended to help us understand this.
Video about the correct use of “dressing” verbs
In this video, philologist Andrei Sobolev will tell you a few more mnemonic verses for remembering the correct use of the words “put on” and “dress”:
Correct use of the verbs “put on” and “dress”
The verbs “put on” and “dress” are so criminally similar that most people use them without even thinking about the nuances they convey. And yet they exist. So, “put on” or “dress” - which is correct? In fact, both of these forms have a right to exist. But their use in a particular sentence is determined by the noun to which they refer.
What's the difference?
Let's figure out the meaning of these verbs in order to decide once and for all what is correct - “put on” or “dress.”
It's very simple: we put on something, and we dress someone. Thus, in order to make sure correct use verb, we need to check whether it refers to an animate or inanimate noun - and everything will immediately fall into place.
For example, we put on a hat (what?). But we dress the child (who?).
Let's make sure again different meaning the words “put on” and “dress”, choosing synonyms for them. Synonyms for “put on” are the words “attach”, “pull”. Synonyms for “dress” can be considered the words “cloth”, “equip”.
Thus, the principles of using these words immediately become clear - and you don’t even have to go into the lexical jungle.
A little catch
Every rule has an exception. The girl dresses the doll, despite the fact that the doll is an inanimate object. The store clerk will also dress, rather than put on, a mannequin.
Easy to check
If you doubt the correct use of the verbs “put on” or “dress”, there is a sure-fire way to check: select antonyms for them, i.e. words with opposite meanings. The antonym of the word “put on” is “take off.” The antonym of the word “dress” is “undress.”
That's all the wisdom. Agree, “taking off your hat” sounds ridiculous.
Well, to consolidate the rule, remember a funny saying that will make it easier for you to remember: “They put on Hope, they put on clothes.”

Verb to dress
This verb denotes an action that is performed by someone in relation to someone or to any inanimate object. For example, it is worth giving the following expressions:
1. Dress the child
2. Dress the old man
3. Dress the doll
4. Dress up the girl
If you look closely at these sentences, you can see that between the word “dress” and the word, for example, “doll” can I ask who? or what? Let's give a few more examples.
1. Dress (whom?) brother in clean clothes
2. Dress (whom?) girl in a fashionable fur coat
3. Dress (What?) stuffed animal in an old dress
There is another way to determine which word should be used - put on or dress. The verb “to dress” refers to verbs that are called reflexive. That is, it can be used with a particle - sya. Again, here are a few examples:
1. Dress for the season
2. Dress in a fashionable salon
3. Dress only in new clothes
Verb to put on
The verb to put on, in contrast to the verb “to put on,” denotes an action that is directed towards oneself. For example:
1. Must be worn new suit
2. I'll put on something warmer
3. I put on my most beautiful dress
However, there are also sentences in which the use of the verb “to dress” would be simply illogical. Here you should definitely use only the verb “put on.” Examples include the following sentences:
1. Put a gown on the patient
2. Put glasses on your nose
3. Put the cover on the chair
4. Put tires on wheels
What do all these proposals have in common? Yes, indeed, the verb put on is used here only in relation to inanimate objects (except for the sick person). And each such sentence has a short word “na”. That is, to “put on” to put something on someone or put it on something.
There is another very simple tip that will help you decide how to write correctly - to put it on or dress it down. So, we remember - they put something on themselves or on something else, but they dress someone and dress themselves. Example:
1. The girl put on her mother’s earrings and looked in the mirror
2. The man put the bait on the hook and cast the fishing rod
3. The girl hastily dressed her brother in a new jacket and walked with him to the door
4. The boy woke up and reluctantly got dressed
So what do you do with the ring? Do they wear it or do they still put it on? Now you know in which case you need to say and write “dress”, and in which case – “put on”.
