To put out means to make a fire or light stop burning. You can put out a candle by blowing on it or using water. It's like turning off a switch to make something stop shining or burning.
Remember, when putting out a fire, always prioritize safety. Never use flammable liquids like gasoline, as they can cause the fire to spread uncontrollably. Water is usually the safest option for extinguishing most fires.
