Hello everyone,

I'm wondering what the meaning of the sentence below is, especially the meaning of "threw" in the context.

If there's anybody who would explain it, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks ~ !

He opened the curtains so that they were wide open, and he did it quickly (that's the "threw" part).

Picture someone walking to the window, taking one curtain in each hand, and pushing them quickly to the side.

Edit: Oops. I should type more quickly to avoid looking redundent.
