Pack means put things into a bag, suitcase or box, often before travel.
The idea
Use pack a suitcase for the container or pack clothes in a suitcase for the items. You can also say I need to pack without naming either. The past is packed.
Examples
- She packed her clothes in a suitcase.
- We packed a small bag for the journey.
- I need to pack before we leave.
- He packed the books into a box.
- Have you packed your shoes?
- They packed the suitcase yesterday.
