Asslam o Alaikum, My honourable Sir, As scholars advise, " Solitude is where you meet yourself" But whenever I sit to reflect on my own presence, rather than meeting myself, I feel I lose myself. Everything around me including myself becomes question mark and 'I' itself feels strange. I feel void. Sir, what's that...? Am I missing something in what scholars meant or is this beyond my understanding? I believe your understanding more than my confusion 😊 Reply to the question: Wa Alaikum Assalam What you’re describing actually makes a lot of mixed sense—and it’s more common (and more meaningful) than it feels in the moment. When scholars say “Solitude is where you meet yourself,” they’re not talking about an immediate, peaceful, clear “meeting.” That line is often quoted in the spirit of thinkers like Rumi or Al-Ghazali—but the first stage of solitude is usually not clarity. it shows confusion.

How to use Ditransitive in English Grammar
1. Monotransitive
In English communication, the Main verb needs a Subject and an Object to make a sensible sentence. For instance
1. I like books.
2. She reads novels.
3. They buy chocolates.
Explanation:
In these sentences, I, She, and They are the Subjects of the main verb, and 'books', 'novels;, and 'chocolates' are the objects of the main verb. There is only one object and this object is called 'a direct object', and the verbs, like, read, and buy are called 'Monotransitive'
2. Ditransitive Verb
Now, add another object in the third sentence, such as
4. They bought me a book.
5. She lent me some clothes.
6. I teach them English.
In these sentences, there are two objects of the main verb: 'me', 'him, and 'them' are indirect objects and 'a book', 'some clothes' and 'English' are direct objects.
These sentences can be written with an addition of a preposition, 'to' such as:
4. They bought a book for me.
5. She lent some clothes to me.
6. I teach English to them.
3. Complex Transitive
There is another verb that takes a complement. This can be a noun, a noun phrase, an adjective, or an adjective phrase.
For instance:
7. They painted their house yellow. (a noun)
8. We named our child Sara. (a noun)
9. They rated John a worthy novelist. (a noun phrase)
10. The Jury declared the culprit innocent. (an adj phrase)
11. A penal judged Maria entirely blameless. (adj phrase)
In these sentences, the verbs, 'painted', 'named', 'rated, 'declared', and 'judged' are Complex Transitive
4. Reflexive Transitive
A Reflexive Transitive is an action verb and it is next to the reflexive pronoun.
These pronouns are related to Subjective Pronouns. Actually, the action reflects back to the subject of the main verb. For instance:
12. He massaged himself all over his chest.
13. She introduced herself to the class.
