Put is the past tense of put. In the sentence "He put it away", put must be past. In the sentence "I put it away", put could be present or past.
Trouble can be a verb, to make someone worried. Its past tense is "troubled".
Thing is a noun, doesn't have a tense. If you mean "think", the past tense is "thought".

There is SO a past tense for 'trouble'.
As in: I am sorry to trouble you.
PAST TENSE: I am sorry to have troubled you.
DOY.
Past tense of put is put. 'Yesterday I put it in the closet.'
Thing is not a verb, therefore it cannot have a tense.

trouble can be past tense, as in "It began to trouble him." That's not very common though. How can thing have a tense, since it's not a verb?

remember, past tense is used to describe verbs. since trouble is adj and thing is noun, there is no past tense for trouble and thing

"Put" can be either past or present tense; "trouble" (as in to bother or disturb someone) is present tense; "thing" is a noun, and has no tense.
