I had put my glasses on the table, and my friend forgot to take it for me when we went outside.

First, I had put my glasses, and then my friend forgot. That is why I use Past Perfect for the first clause and Past Simple for the second one.

However, I do not understand the situation with the dependent clause. Please, help me to understand which verb tense I need to use in the dependent clause.

    Past perfect is frequently avoided, many people would say "I put my glasses on the table, ..." – Barmar Jan 19 '17 at 18:56
  • *Glasses* takes the plural pronoun *them*, whether the word *glasses* refers to the kind you wear to improve your eyesight or the glass containers you drink liquids out of. – green_ideas May 27 '17 at 16:28
