need Need may be used either as an ordinary intransitive verb or as an auxiliary verb. || When need is used as an intransitive verb, the form of the verb accompanying -he/she/it- ends in --s-, questions and negative statements are formed with the auxiliary verb -do-, and a following verb is preceded by -to-: If he needs to go, I'll just have to let him. You don't need to go. I didn't need to see him at all. Didn't you need to tell him something? || When need is used as an auxiliary verb, the verb accompanying -he/she/it- has no --s' ending, questions and negative statements are formed without -do-, and there is no -to- before the following verb: She needn't go if she doesn't want to. Need we tell her at all? This auxiliary-verb construction is possible only in questions and negative statements in the present tense.
