Usage of keep:

Keep can be used as a transitive verb or an intransitive verb. When used as a transitive verb, a noun or pronoun can be used as an object (the infinitive of the verb cannot be used as an object) or as a double object, and its indirect object can be transformed into the object of the preposition for. When keep is used as an intransitive verb "save", the active structure often contains passive meaning.

Keep can also be followed by adjectives, adverbs, phrases, present participles (phrases) and past participles (phrases) as compound objects of object complements, but it cannot be followed by compound objects with infinitives.
