Hi,
http://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/separate_2
4 [intransitive] to stop living together as a couple with your husband, wife or partner
separate from somebody
He separated from his wife after 20 years of marriage.
I would like to ask if I can use the verb ''separate'' as a transitive verb, as is in the sentence below.
- I separated his wife from him. (It was me who caused them to be separated.) = (They do not live together because of me)
Thanks.
