Doubly Transitive Verb

A doubly transitive verb is a type of verb that can take both a direct object and an indirect object. It is a verb that transfers the action from the subject to both objects simultaneously.

Examples:

1. She gave him the book.
   In this sentence, "gave" is a doubly transitive verb. "Book" is the direct object, and "him" is the indirect object.
2. The teacher assigned each student a topic.
   Here, "assigned" is a doubly transitive verb. "Topic" is the direct object, and "each student" is the indirect object.
3. They offered me a ride home.
   In this example, "offered" functions as a doubly transitive verb. "Ride" is the direct object, and "me" is the indirect object.
