The correct way to say this is “I will put in a good word for you”. This means you will help someone impress another person by describing positive traits about them. For example, if your friend wanted to ask your other friend on a date, you could say “Don’t worry, I will put in a good word for you”. I hope this makes sense!

@bella_ji Thank you can you give me any sentence with Put down?
- English (US)
@jwofnell With the phrase “good word”? I have never heard the expression written like “I will put down a good word for you”. I have only heard of “I will put in a good word for you”.

@bella_ji no any word would be fine I just want to know the nuance of ' Put down'
- English (US)
@jwofnell Ah, okay! Usually you use this phrase when someone is lifting something. For example, if your friend is carrying your books, you could say “Can you put down my books on that desk over there?”
“Put down” could also mean “write down”.
An example:
“Put down your name and address here.”
Please reply if you have any more questions! I hope this helps.
