NEED

Compare:

Need (a notional verb) + a noun E.g. He needs a new coat.

Did he really need that journal?

Need (a modal verb) + a notional verb E.g. – Need we do it again?

  • You needn’t.

The modal verb need is used both as a regular verb and as a defective one.

Compare the examples:

Need we leave at once?

Do we need to leave at once?

I needn’t have taken my opera glasses: we sat close to the stage.

I didn’t need to take my opera glasses: we sat close to the stage.

Need as a defective verb tends to occur only in interrogative and negative sentences.

Meaning: necessity

E.g. Need we go there? = Do we need to go there?

I’m sure we needn’t come. = I’m sure we don’t need to come.

Mind! Need not + perfect infinitve

= an unnecessary action was carried out

E.g. I needn’t have taken my umbrella. It isn’t going to rain. (=I took my umbrella unnecessarily).

Depending on the context:

needn’t have

Didn’t need =

didn’t have to

E.g. You didn’t need to do the shopping. We have all the necessary things.

(= You needn’t have done the shopping, i.e. you did an unnecessary thing).

I didn’t need to go to school, it was Sunday. (= I didn’t have to go to school, i.e. I didn’t go there.)
