Are the following sentences correct?

1. Drape the curtains properly.
2. Put the curtains right.
3. Slide the curtains.

[mykwyner]

In the dialect I speak, sentences 1 and 3 are fine; sentence 2 is more idiomatic (put something right) than standard.

My wife's always telling me to 'put the curtains right.

Also you can say 'draw the curtains'

Reminds me of the old joke:

A man went to see a psychiatrist:

Doctor what's the matter with me? I think I'm a set of curtains.

Doctor: Pull yourself together!

Boom boom!
