Transitive or intransitive verb
I have a question that the verb "dine" is only an intransitive verb or both transitive and intransitive verb?
I have looked it up in Cambridge dictionary and Oxford dictionary and both dictionaries show that the verb "dine" is only an intransitive verb. So I wonder if the sentence "We were dined at the ambassador last week" is true. Because I learned that all intransitive verbs have no passive form. Thanks for helping me.
