Many verbs describe events that must, in addition to the subject, involve someone or something else. Some of these verbs can only be used in transitive clauses.(이행적 어구. 타동사의 목적어구.)
The extra profit justifies the investment.

Many verbs which are only used in transitive clauses can take a large range of objects. For example, there are many things you can 'want' : money, a rest, success, and so on.
Some transitive verbs have a restricted range of objects, because of their menaing. for example, the object of the verb 'kill' must be something that is alive. The object of the verb 'waste' must be something you can use, such as time, money, or food.
