一、need作情态动词的用法:
(1)need用作情态动词时表“必须、必要”,后直接跟动词原型,need+do,否定needn’t +do
(2)need无人称、数的变化(第三人称单数不加s),也没有非谓语形式(不定式、分词).
(3)注意:need用作情态动词时常用于否定句和疑问句中.
(4)must引导的一般疑问句的否定回答必须使用needn't.肯定回答用must.或have to;
What is right for us need not be right for others
对我们来说是对的东西,对别人来说未必正确。

Freedom need not mean independence.
自由不一定意味着独立。

特别注意:
1.由于用作情态动词的need通常用于否定句和疑问句中,所以对于need开头的疑问句和否定句的回答可用needn't,但肯定回答要用must。
例如:-Need I come back home now?我现在需要回家吗?
肯定回答-Yes, you must.是的,你必须现在回家。
否定回答-No, you needn't.不,你不需要现在回家。
2.由must引出的一般疑问句,其肯定句回答用must,否定回答用needn't或don't have to
例如:-Must I come back home now?
肯定回答-Yes, you must.是的,你必须现在回家。
否定回答-No, you needn't./No, you don't have to.不,你不必。
(must一般疑问句的否定回答是平时考试的重点,所以同学们要注意这个考点。Must开头的句子并不一定要用must回答,该句的否定中要用need和have to来参与作答。)
(must与need开头的疑问句其肯定回答都要用must;否定回答都用needn't)
名词:
There's no need to call a doctor
没有必要叫医生。

二、need作实义动词的用法:
1、need + something(名词) 需要某物
2、need to do something 需要做某事
3、need doing = need to be done 需要……
4、need somebody to do something 需要某人做某事
“need”作为实义动词时,通常用法是
人+need +to do ;
物+need +doing ;
物+need +to be done
例如:
The room needs cleaning = The room needs to be cleaned.
房间需要打扫了.。
need用作实义动词时,有各种时态的变化,可用于各种句式;其宾语可以是名词、动名词、动词不定式以及代词。构成其否定句和疑问句时要借助助动词do。
A baby does not need to wear shoes until he starts to walk
婴儿在开始走路前不需要穿鞋。
I need you here, Wally
我这儿需要你,沃利。
《柯林斯高阶英汉双解学习词典》
Do you need any help?
你需要帮忙吗?
Don't go─I might need you.

他得赢下这场比赛以免被淘汰出局。

当need做实义动词时need to do sth与need doing sth的区别:
1.need to do sth“需要做某事”:此时主语与do之间为主动关系。
例如:The boy needs to take care of his young sister.这个男孩需要照顾他的妹妹。
(the boy与take care of为主动关系。因为照顾妹妹是哥哥主动做的事情。因为the boy属于第三人称单数形式,所以谓语动词need要用相应的单数第三人称形式needs。)
2.need doing sth/need to be done“需要(被)做某事”:此时主语与do之间为被动关系。
例如:The car needs washing=The car needs to be washed.这辆车需要洗一下。
(车不会自己给自己清洗,需要被人洗,所以该句的主语the car与wash之间为被动语态。)
This shirt needs washing.
这件衬衣该洗了。
This shirt needs to be washed.
这件衬衣该洗了。
作情态动词
1.need作情态动词无人称或数的变化, 后接动词原形,多用于否定句和疑问句中.如:You needn't worry.你不必担心.
2.由need引出的一般疑问句,肯定回答常用must或have to;否定答语常用needn't. 如:
—Need I answer the question? 我需要回答那个问题吗?
—Yes, you must. /Yes, you have to.是的,你必须回答./是的,你得回答./No, you needn't.不,不必了.
3.由must引出的一般疑问句,肯定回答用must,否定答语用needn't或don't have to.如:
—Must I do the work now? 我必须现在干这个活吗?
—Yes, you must /have to.是的,你必须做./No, you needn't /don't have to. 不,你现在不必做.
三.needn't have done表示“本来不必做某事却做了”。
例如:You needn't have hurried (= it was not necessary for you to hurry, but you did) .
你当时不必这么匆忙。
You needn't have told her that bad news.你本没有必要告诉她这个坏消息。
(need的否定形式在后面加上现在完成时表示“本不需要做的事情却做了。”与该意思相近的有shouldn't have done/oughtn't have done/might not have done.)
Need you have paid so much?
你用得着花那么多钱吗?(大多实际是说不用花的意思。)
