"drape" is a noun and a verb
as a noun - you often see it as "drapes" which are curtains. But just as you can have one curtain, you can have one drape.
as a verb- it can either mean to cover something with loose folds of cloth, and if you use it like that, it needs a direct object (transitive.) "She draped the statue with purple silk." Or it can mean to hang down in loose folds. You would use it in this way to talk about what the cloth itself is doing. "The purple silk draped over the statue." If you use it like that, there's no direct object (intransitive.)
If you are using drape as a verb, here are some forms:
I drape
I am draping
I do drape
I was draping
I have draped
I had draped
I will drape
I draped
do you drape...?
did you drape...?
have you draped...?
he drapes
he is draping
he does drape
he was draping
he has draped
he had draped
he willd drape
he draped
did he drape...?
does he drape...?
has he draped...?

drape is both a noun and a verb.
the sentence construction and usage makes the difference.
eg:
1. the window is adorned by a heavy drape (noun)
2. Martha is draped in a fine dress (verb)

Drape is a verb in its own right.

To drape is the infinitive - as in 'the shawl was draped over her shoulders'.
Draping is the gerund form.
