"I need to do many things."

Translation: 我要做很多事情。

Why not 需要

[Nicofiesta]

I feel like 需要 = Need like "this is required". For example "I need a bag for my groceries". But if you want to say "I need to do this", meaning " I have to do this", then "要“ (which can mean "must"), is more approriate.

[Dielle439355]

Supposed to be 需要 for need

[valeamaris]

in chinese “要" also means "need" depending on context; you dont necessarily need to say 需要 every time

[LaBiciEsMia]

That may be so, but should 需要 be marked as an incorrect answer, as it currently is?

[kuyaC]

Why is there 很? Does that just mean 'very many' in this case or is it necessary?

[ttvDoveJames]

很多 = a lot of

[Sora942232]

why put 很？ I know 很 needs putting before the adjective like 他很高兴。but in this sentence 很多 comes before a noun...

[Szh54]

I want to do a lot of things.

[ctvadim]

我要做很多事 should also be accepted... (posting here since flagging it doesn't give me a place to submit that as feedback, only flag the english as unnatural, which isn't quite right).

我要很多事情做 is not accepted. Why?
