6. 把 + object + placement verb + 在 + place
To describe placing a specific object somewhere, practise 把 + object + 放/挂/贴 + 在 + place. Other constructions can describe a state: 书在桌子上; 我坐在椅子上 does not require 把.
✗ 我放书在桌子上。
✓ 我把书放在桌子上。
Place 书 after 把, before 放; 在桌子上 gives the destination. This rule concerns this placement construction, not every verb followed by 在.
把这件衣服看一看 is a grammatical command with an implied 你. 请 adds politeness; it is not a subject. Keep the object after 把 and include a suitable verb phrase.
✗ 把看一看这道题。
✓ 把这道题看一看。
The subject 你 may be omitted. 看一看 completes the action phrase. 把看一看这道题 puts the verb in the object slot.
