Dear teachers,

Would you be kind enough to tell me whether there is a difference between the meaning of the folloing two expressions?

“to keep something in sight”

“to keep in sight of something”

Thank you for your efforts.

Regards,

In the first you are keeping something in view; in the second something has you in view.
