What does Put Forward really mean?

"Put Forward" means to propose or suggest something.

Imagine you and your friends are trying to decide what game to play at recess. Everyone has their own ideas and they start sharing them with the group. When it's your turn, you say, "I put forward the idea of playing tag!" By saying this, you are suggesting or proposing that everyone plays tag.

Putting forward an idea is almost like presenting it to a group of people. It's like when a detective in a crime show presents evidence to solve a case. The detective carefully chooses the evidence they think will help solve the mystery and presents it to their colleagues. Similarly, when you put forward an idea, you carefully choose the suggestion you think is best and present it to your friends or the people you are discussing with.

Another way to think about it is like playing a game of soccer. When a player has the ball and wants to pass it to a teammate, they have to decide where to put the ball forward. They need to carefully choose the direction and speed at which they kick the ball to make sure it reaches their teammate effectively. Similarly, when you put forward an idea, you are deciding how to present it in a way that will make others understand and consider it.

So, when someone says "put forward," they mean that they are suggesting or proposing something to a group or individual. It's like sharing your idea and hoping that it will be considered and accepted by others. Whether it's a game suggestion, an idea for a project, or even a solution to a problem, putting forward is a way to actively participate in discussions and contribute your thoughts.
