In another forum someone asked a question about particles and used a phrase as example which is 夢を現実の前に降伏することがある.
I was kinda surprised because I thought 降伏する was an intransitive verb, but someone used google as example to show it was used as transitive verb. So I searched on google with the phrase 降伏するとは他動詞 and all I got back was 自動詞. For sure you find alot used を when it is used 降伏させる.
Can someone explain this please?
