These words agree in the                   idea of fixing the position of some object, and are                   often used interchangeably. To put is the least                   definite, denoting merely to move to a place. To place                   has more particular reference to the precise location,                   as to put with care in a certain or proper place. To                   set or to lay may be used when there is special                   reference to the position of the object.
