<p>The "<span class="hanzi">要⋯⋯就</span>" grammar structure can be used to express the same meaning as <a href=""If%E2%80%A6,_then%E2%80%A6"_with_"ruguo%E2%80%A6,_jiu%E2%80%A6"" title="wikilink">"如果...就"</a> However,"<span class="hanzi">要⋯⋯就</span>" is more intense and resolute, similar to imperative sentences (command sentences). Therefore, "<span class="hanzi">要⋯⋯就</span>" sentences typically do not have a subject, but they can have a topic. This grammar form is similar to the English "<b>If you want to (verb) just (verb)...</b>"</p>
