How to make a verb like "put ____ in ____" ?

Question

Basically, I can't just make the player "put" an item into something like a backpack. Or even like "place ___ in ___" Does anyone know how to do this or a way to work around it?

I'm using Quest.

I just made a simple game and added 4 objects - backpack, apple, banana, and HK's head. All you need to do, I think, is make the backpack, click on the features tab, and click on 'container'. I then clicked on the boxes for can be open, can be closed, and list children when object is looked at or opened under the container tab. The commands 'put apple in backpack', etc. worked fine. When I looked at it when open, it told me the objects that were in it.
