thank you very much for your answer
the reason why i asked is that i felt it is kind wiered

to use put on and off but that what is written in the book

which is by the way a Britich one (elementary vocabulary by B J Thomas) a very famous one in my country.
i will be posting a lot of question regarding this book

like for example why do we say I sat in the armchair while we use on with the sofa or is it because we more like to feel that we are sitting inside the armchair surronded by the arms
