No, that would just be 'remembering', Vincent, not using your brain. If you do not wish to think about the simple difference between put and take-- which you should have learned long ago-- then I will not tell you.

Put is an action in which the hand moves in the direction opposite to the wrist.
Take is an action in which the hand moves in the direction of the wrist.
(Put and take are similar to push and pull in their relationship.)
Thus, I put the cork into the bottle
