"Drown" as a transitive verb
Hello everyone. I have a question regarding the verb drown.
I know that this term is used mainly as an intransitive verb but that it is used as a transitive verb on several occasions. By the way, how often do you use this word as a transitive verb? I mean, if you used drown 100 times, how many of them would be used as a transitive verb?
I'm aware that this might be a strange question, but I guess in a case like this, we have no choice but to turn to learned native speakers. I've consulted 12 dictionaries so far, but I don't have any clue as to this specific point. So please help me.
