Necesito que tú (+ subjuctive)


Explanation:
The phrase "I need you" alone is "Te necesito" or "Necesito a te" (the first is by far the most common).

However:
If you want to say a phrase such as, "I need you to leave", in which the word "you" is not the object but rather the subject of the dependent clause, then you would say, "Necesito que (tú) salgas/te vayas", with the word "tú" being possible but not mandatory. In these situations, "Necesito" ("I need") is the independant clause, "que" is the relative conjunction connecting the clauses, and the rest is the dependent clause, which must be in the subjunctive tense.

Good luck!

agree  Susana Galilea: de acuerdo con la explicación, pero "Necesito a te" no existe en español

  -> De acuerdo que "Necesito a te" no es usado, pero no es imposible. Es correcto, solamente no usado. Pero no importa; lo que quiero subrayar es el subjuntivo.
