[[求助与讨论]] put on versus up

What is the difference between put on and put up in:
putting on the new porch
and
put up the garage?

To this American: \"to put on\" is \"to attach,\" so the porch is a new
structure that is attached to the house; \"to put up\" is \"to build,\" so
a new garage is built but it is probably a separate structure from the
house. In this context, anyway.

I put on jewelry, or put jewelry on. If I had a garden and canned the
produce from it, I would be putting up green beans and such. Cleaning
up after a four-year-old can include putting the toys up (on their
shelves, in their box).

And let's not forget \"put up with\", meaning \"to tolerate\"...when used
intransitively, the \"with\" disappears:
\"I'm not happy about how things are going, but I can put up.\"
