All about 要!
要- i have learnt that this means 'to want' ,
要-在这个句子有什么意思?
1。吃饭以前,要洗手-Before you eat, you should wash your hands.
2。还要走开车多久才能到?-How long does it take to get there by car?
why is 要 used in these sentences??!!
o(*^。^*)o
这两句,【要】都是表示情态的动词。表示了"必须完成某事,应该完成某事,希望完成某事'的意思。情态和英语need类似
1。吃饭以前,要洗手-Before you eat, you need to wash your hands.
2。还要走开车多久才能到?-How much time do you need?for you to get there by car.

"要- i have learnt that this means 'to want' ,"
here goes the basic mistake
because
"to want" = 想
while
"要" = future intention, as "will" in English
