Some questions
Hi all,
Please answer my questions.
1- Can we say: "I ask a question to him"?
2- When is it necessary to use "of" after "remind"? What about after "all" and "most"? (all of..., most of ...)
3- Can we use a time period for the past simple tense, like: "I stayed/was in London for two years"?
4- Can we use transitive verbs intransitively? For example, "I didn't omit"?
Thanks.

Jane reminded John of his promises to her.
01- I guess I saw such a sentence from the British Council notes. (Ask a question to someone/all)
2- Can we say, we must use "of" when there a noun after it, on such occasions?
3- But "read" is both a transitive and intransitive verb. I meant the verbs that have the only transitive form.
0By the question number 2 I meant to use a noun after "reminds", "all" and "most". Sorry.
For example:
When to use "remind + of"? Is it when we have a noun after of?
And what about using "all of" not "all" and "most of" and not "most" in sentences?
And the last case: So we can say that we cannon use verbs intransitively when they have only the transitive form.
