Keeping it there is what happens over time. By keeping it there, you don&#39;t remove it after it is installed in its place. In the context of those sentences, they both mean the same thing. &quot;put it there&quot; means &quot;put it there and keep it there&quot;. &quot;keep it there&quot; means &quot;put it there and keep it there&quot;. Each of the verbs can be used to imply both.
