Note 1: When rendering the Russian «не нужно было» use “needn’t have done” to show that the action was performed though it was not necessary. Use “didn’t have to do” to indicate that the action was not performed as there was no obligation. e.g. He needn’t have bought the book (but he did). It is available at the library. I didn’t have to buy the textbook (and I didn’t) as I had it at home.
Note 2: Need as a modal verb also occurs in combination with negative-type adverbs like hardly, never, seldom, rarely and scarcely to make what are effectively negative statements: She needs never know what you have just told me.
Note 3: The regular verb need may be followed by a noun or a pronoun: He needs a new copy-book. Do you need my help? She doesn’t need anything.
Note 4: The Russian sentence Вам не следует/не надо беспокоиться (волноваться) is rendered in English as: You needn’t worry (be nervous).
Note 5: Need can occur in clauses with a negative main clause: I don’t think you need leave yet.
Note !!! - Need I go there at once? – Yes, you must. – Must I go there at once? – No, you needn’t.
