Hello everyone,
I've come across quite some verbs that go with curtains and blinds and I'd like to confirm if they're right. THANKS
1) Curtains
- draw the curtain open / draw open the curtain
- open / close the curtain
- pull the curtain
2) Blinds (Venetian)
- draw up / down
- pull up / down
I'm a bit confused how to make things clearly. For instance, if one says draw the curtain, how do I know if it is drawing open or close the curtain (if there are two windows, one has the curtain open the other close). I'm also a bit unsure how open and close collocate with curtains and blinds. Say, can I say the curtain is close / open?
A BIG THANK YOU
