Need need and dare

Need can be a main verb and a modal auxiliary verb.

Main verb: I need to improve my Spanish. / Do you need any help? / We don’t need any milk.
Everyone needs to feel loved.
As with other main verbs, add an ‘s’ for 3rd person singular positive form. He needs to know as soon as possible.
…and use ‘do’ ‘did’ and ‘does’ to make questions: Did you need to get up early today?
Need is followed by an infinitive.

Modal auxilliary ‘need’ is more common in British English and in the negative form.
You needn’t worry. / She needn’t book in advance.
As with other modal verbs, there’s no ‘s’ added for 3rd person singular negative and you make questions and negatives without the word ‘do’ – Need I pay to use the phone?

We use ‘need’ in the negative form mostly to indicate that there is no obligation or necessity to do something:
You needn’t take off your shoes. – You don’t need to take off your shoes.
