you are correct. An alternative could be:

朝ご飯を食べる前に、手を洗う必要があります。

Asagohan o taberu mae ni, te o arau hitsuyou ga arimasu.

I have to wash my hands before taking breakfast – Asa gohan o taberu mae ni, te o (arau)araimasu.

I don’t under stand why the ‘have to’ is there. I thought it would just be: I wash my hands before eating breakfast.

For ‘have to’ shouldn’t it be:
Asa gohan o taberu mae ni, te o arawana-keraba narimasen.

Thanks :)

Here is the whole sentence:

４０歳を前に、フリーター第一世代が思い描いた人生はきしみはじめた。

I know its a small thing, but I just thought it was strange as well.

４０歳を前に…

I know it still means ‘before the age of 40′, but why is it using wo instead of the usual structure of, ‘no Mae ni’ or ‘verb plain + Mae ni’?
