What does it mean?

Hello:)
Could you tell me what does "put" mean in this case?

Depends where they put us, I think I will be alone.

Hi Junichiro,

As a verb, "put" means to place something in a location. It also means causing something to be in a certain state / condition.

Example: Put the book on the shelf. (location) / You have put me in a difficult situation. (certain state of difficulty)

The context of the sentence is not very clear, so I have made a few guesses:

* They may assign all of you (put all of you in) different roles and responsibilities in a company, so you think you will be alone in carrying out your job.

* They may assign all of you (put all of you in) different sitting positions, so you think you will be sitting alone all by yourself.

Hope this helps.
