    Thank you for the video! To be honest, I still can't tell the difference when I should use 'need' as a main verb or a modal one. Would be there any difference if I said 'You don't need to take your umbrella' instead of 'You needn't take your umbrella'?

    • @lanaefremova3443

      @EnglishTestBlog  2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      You're welcome! 😊 Great question! The difference between 'need' as a main verb and as a modal verb can be tricky.
      'Need' as a main verb (in a sentence like You don’t need to take your umbrella) is used to express necessity or requirement. It’s more common in everyday speech and follows the usual verb rules.
      'Needn't' as a modal verb (in You needn't take your umbrella) also expresses lack of necessity, but it’s more formal and typically used in statements like this one.
      Both sentences mean the same thing: it's not necessary to take your umbrella, but 'needn't' is a bit more formal and less commonly used in casual speech.
      Hope that helps! 😊👍 Keep up the great work!

    hello, i really like your video.😊 But could you explain when and how to use "don't need" and "needn't"? 😇

    • @EnglishTestBlog
      @EnglishTestBlog  2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      When “need” is used as a modal verb, it is followed by the base form of a main verb, and doesn’t have -s in the third person singular.
      The modal verb “need” is almost always used in negative sentences and questions.
      When “need” acts as the main verb:
      It takes "s" in the third person singular;
      It is followed by an infinitive with "to";
      In the interrogative form, "do" is used;
      In the negative form, the auxiliary verb "don’t" is used.
      We must use the main verb “need” when it is followed by a noun phrase or -ing clause.

    Can someone explain me the difference between needn't and don't need, because I have heard that it's the same but needn't is more formal.

    • @jorgejustjokes313
      @jorgejustjokes313 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      They're used for the same thing. Just there's something else: when you use needn't, you need to put after the bare infinitive, but when you use don't need, you have to put the complete infinitive after it.
      Example: I needn't do that = I don't need to do that.
      Also, needn't is more used in British English than in American English, where they use more the "don't need" form

      Great question! 😊 You’re right that needn't and don’t need can have the same meaning, but they’re used a bit differently.
      Needn't is a more formal, slightly old-fashioned way to say you don't have to do something. For example: You needn't worry about it.
      Don’t need is more commonly used in everyday conversation. For example: You don’t need to worry about it.
      Both mean it's not necessary, but needn't is generally used in more formal contexts. Hope that clears it up! 😊👍

    • @EnglishTestBlog
      @EnglishTestBlog  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Which sentence means:
      I bought that book, but it wasn’t necessary.
      In this sentence, the speaker talks about the past. Therefore, we don't use "don't need".

      Ah, the "have to" dilemma! 🤔 It's true that "have to" can be a bit tricky. Some consider it a semi-modal verb because it shares characteristics with both modal and regular verbs. 📚✨
      The key is that "have to" is used to express necessity or obligation, similar to modal verbs like "must." 📝💼 Whether you label it as a modal or semi-modal, understanding how it works in sentences is what matters most. Keep practicing, and soon, it won't seem as confusing! 😄🌟 If you have more questions or need further clarification, don't hesitate to ask! 👍🧐
