    MODALS

    NEED, DIDN’T NEED TO, NEEDN’T HAVE

    Taken from: https://www.bbc.co.uk/


    NEEDN’T AND DON’T NEED TO
     These verbs are used to describe present
    situations.
     We can use both needn't and don't need
    to to give permission to someone not to do
    something in the immediate future.

    You don't need to water the garden this


    evening. It's going to rain tonight. 
    You needn't water the garden this evening.
    It's going to rain tonight.
    NEEDN’T AND DON’T NEED TO
    We can also use need as a noun.
    There's no need to water the garden this
    evening. It's going to rain tonight.

     When we are talking about general


    necessity, we normally use don't need
    to:
    You don't need to pay for
    medical care in National
    Health Service hospitals.
    SO…
     Need can either act as a modal verb or as an
    ordinary verb.
     When it acts as a modal auxiliary verb it is
    nearly always used in negative sentences
      It is sometimes also used in questions as a
    modal verb.

    Need I say more? I


    would like you to
    stay.
    DIDN’T NEED TO AND NEEDN’T
    HAVE
     Both these forms are used to talk about past
    events.
     Needn't have done something, it means that
    they did it, but it was not necessary.
     Didn't need to is also sometimes used in this
    way.

    You needn't have washed the dishes. I


    would've put them in the dishwasher. 
    You didn't need to wash the dishes. I would've
    put them in the dishwasher.
    DIDN’T NEED TO AND NEEDN’T
    HAVE
     But we also use didn't need to to say
    that something was not necessary under
    circumstances where it was not done.

    We didn't need to wait for long


    for them. They arrived just
    after us.
    DON’T FORGET THE STRUCTURES!

    1. didn’t need to + infinitive –> didn’t need


    to do

    2. needn’t have + past participle –>  needn’t


    have done
