Put/had put
I saw that there was only one clean glass left. My father had put/ put most of them in the dishwasher, so I got that one despite its small size.
Can both tenses work here? (My father put the glasses in the dishwasher before I saw there was only one clean one). So with that in mind, is the past simple possible? Thank you.

Necrophagist Can both tenses work here? Yes. " because that occurred before you saw that there was only one clean one left (and there is no 'before' or 'after' in the passage to clarify this).
