Oh great, this answers my question in another sentence. I don't know who you are Kevin, but you're a great asset to this course!

[TheGedas]

I will find you and I will give you a cookie

[Tim608103]

What is the reason for this?

[KikaTM]

So if both of the sentences are in 해라체, then shouldn't the first one look like this: "시간을 필요로 한다." ? I know that 필요하다 is an adjective, so the conjugation in the 2nd sentence is okay but how is it with the first one?

[honeyrbw]

There is no difference. But we use "필요해요" much more often in everyday life.

[SteveKlyns]

Maybe "필요해요" is literally "needs" whereas "필요로 해요" is more along the lines of "has need of"

[josueetcom]

필요하다 uses the subject particle so it best closely means "to be needed". 필요로 하다 can probably be thought of as "does need"

[CF00l]

그女는 食用油를 必要로 해요.

[klite123]

The sentence literally translates as "She(그녀는) does(해요) cooking oil(식용유) with need(필요로)."

[pQpQrOPY]

I think "she requires cooking oil" is a better translation. I've already reported it.
