Singapore is a really interesting place. English is an official language, and a lot of people speak it really well. However, I could still find mistakes like this one at Mustafa, a 24-hour discount store in Little India:
× please put back after trythanks
◯ Please put them back after trying them on. Thanks!Spaces between words and punctuation are basic rules. Nothing more needs to be said.
"Put back" needs an object. Because the simplest object in this case is "them", which is a pronoun, we should put it between the two parts of this phrasal verb.
- phrasal verb 句動詞 (definition from Eijiro on the Web)
On top of that, we usually don't "try" clothing or shoes. We "try it on". <- "try on" is another phrasal verb
- try on 試着する、着てみる、履いてみる (definition from Eijiro on the Web)
