Question about 을/를 as the direct object particle being used with intransitive verbs

Allthough 을/를 typically marks the direct object of transitive verbs it can also appear with intransitive verbs.

Why and when would you use it with an intransitive verb as they do not need a direct object?

Please can you show me some examples of use with intransitive verbs!

Thanks in advance

If 을/를 is used with intransitive verbs, it shows the used intransitive verbs have a limited transitivity. I think 을/를 can be interpreted as a preposition in a few cases.

지금 가고 있어요. Now I'm going(there).
내 길을 가고 있어요. I'm going my way.

좀 걷고 있어요. I'm walking.
얼음 위를 걷고 있어요. I'm walking on the ice.

잠시만 좀 지나갈게요. Let me pass.
사람들이 내 옆을 지나가요. People pass by me.

He accounted for this.
- 그는 이것을 설명했다.

He can deal with it.
- 그는 이것을 다룰 수있다.

They are looking for something.
- 그들은 어떤것을 찾고있다.

Maybe, we use 을/를 with intransitive verbs when they have prepositions. Finding some examples, I thought just now.

나는 편지를 보냈다.--> I sent a letter.

나는 저녁을 먹었다.---> I had a diiner.

If the noun has "받침", you should use "을" whereas if the noun dosen't have "받침 " you should use "를".
