动作即将发生
an action that is going to take place in a short time
“要..了” indicates that an action or situation is going to take place soon. “就”or “快”can be used in front of “要”as an adverbial to indicate urgency. The subject can often be omitted in this type of sentence.

This type of sentence is usually transformed into a question simply by adding “吗”at the end. A negative response can be formed by using the negative adverb “没有” or “还没有呢”。 For example:
火车要开了吗？
----没有。
我们就要到海南岛了吗？
----还没有呢。

Notes:
(1) a time adverbial can be added in front of “要..了” or “就要…了”。For example:“他们明天要走了”or “他们明天就要走了”。 However, time adverbials cannot be added before “就要…了”; for example, one cannot say “他们明天快要走了”。
（2）“要..了”can be changed to “快…了”， without changing the meaning of the sentence, for example: “要放假了”=“快放假了”。
