Grammar Focus:
-(으)려면 is the shortened form of -(으)려고 하면. It is used with verbs to express a plan or intention to do something in the first clause, with the condition required to fulfill that plan or intention given in the second clause. For this reason, it is common for the following grammatical forms to be used in the second clause: -아/어야 해요/돼요, -(으)면 돼요, -(으)세요, 이/가 필요해요, and -는 게 좋아요. This expression means ‘if you want to’ or ‘if your intention is to’ in English.
When the verb stem ends in a vowel or ㄹ, -려면 is used, and when it ends in a consonant, -으려면 is used.
