Il faut is most commonly used with tasks you need to do such as "Il faut que je fasse mes devoirs" (I need to do my homework) but avoir besoin de is used with objects/tools: "J'ai besoin d'un crayon pour écrire" (I need a pen to write"

[viral stump]

is besoin always complemented with verb avoir?

[mild bronze]

Yes

It's an expression: « avoir besoin de qqch »

[viral stump]

ok so basically

'il faut' is used when I need to do somethin

'avoir besoin de' is when I need somethin (an object)

sum like that?

[mild bronze]

The word « besoin » is a noun, 'need'

so the expression « avoir besoin de qqch » literally means 'to have need of smth'

You can use it in other contexts as a standalone noun like: « En cas de besoin (In case of need) » or « C'est important de s'adapter aux besoins de clients (It's important to adapt to the needs of clients) »

You can use « falloir » with objects as well but it's rarer compared to « avoir besoin »

« Il me faut une chemise »
literally means: 'A shirt is necessary for me' or 'It is necessary for me (to have) a shirt'
figuratively means: 'I need a shirt'

You can also have « avoir besoin » with actions but it's rarer than « falloir » : « J'ai besoin que tu partes (I need you to leave) ».
