need用法小結

于洪偉

need既可以用作情態動詞、實義動詞，還可以用作名詞。need詞義簡單，用法卻不簡單。

一、用作情態動詞

表示必要，后接動詞原形。

1. 通常用在疑問句、否定句中。

No， I neednt. 不一定要去。

2. need引導的疑問句，肯定回答要用must。

—Yes， you must. 是的，必需打。

—No， you neednt. 不，不必。

3. need have done的否定式或疑問式，表示“做了不必做的事”。

否定式：neednt have done sth本不必做某事（事實上做了）

疑問式：Need +主語+ have done sth？當時非得做某事嗎？

2. need + 名詞
