a: Transitive verb ~
b: a star that has a planet
What: "A transitive verb is like a star that has a planet revolving around it because some of the star's energy is not simply lost in space but strikes the surface of its planet and warms and energises it. The term "transitive" is used of verbs whose energy 'transits' across, striking an object, like solar energy transiting across and striking a planet."
