verb with two objects

Verb with two objects (فعل ينصب مفعولين): In Arabic grammar, this refers to verbs that require two objects to complete their meaning. These verbs often involve actions of giving, showing, or telling. For example, in the sentence أعطيتُ زيدًا كتابًا (I gave Zayd a book), زيدًا (Zayd) is the first object, and كتابًا (a book) is the second object.
