Question

Select the correct sentence:

• A. You need not to do it
• B. You not to do it
• C. You need not do it
• D. You need not it to do

Answer 1

Answer:

C. You need not do it

• Need can function as a modal auxiliary verb.

• When need is used as a modal auxiliary, it is followed by the base form (V1) of the verb without to.

• Therefore, need not + V1 is the correct structure.

• Here, do is the base form of the verb.
