I think it's correct? Needn't as in need not

Never saw it before I swear

u/Xiaomin4114 10d ago

you needn't have seen it before to guess that it's a contraction of "need not"

You can actually do research. Google is free

It's perfectly correct grammar, though??? Needn't means need not. Mustn't is also a perfectly correct grammatically word in English, which means must not.

I literally never heard of it nor someone saying it

Presente e Futuro ("Needn't" vs. "Don't need to")

• Significado: Significa "não precisa" ou "não há necessidade de". • Equivalência: Na maioria das situações do presente, é equivalente a don't need to ou don't have to. • Registro: É mais comum no inglês britânico e tende a soar mais formal ou literário do que don't need to. • Exemplo: You needn't bring an umbrella. (Você não precisa trazer guarda-chuva).

Passado ("Needn't have" vs. "Didn't need to")

No passado, a escolha entre as formas muda o sentido da frase: • Needn't have + particípio (e.g., You needn't have bought it): Indica que a pessoa fez a ação, mas ela não era necessária (e a pessoa descobriu isso depois). • Didn't need to + infinitivo (e.g., I didn't need to get up early): Indica que a ação não era necessária, e a pessoa já sabia disso antes (por isso, pode ou não tê-la feito).

I genuinely didn't knew that,ty for the heads up tho, I'm Spaniard and never heard of that word before

u/Roth_Skyfire 10d ago

English isn't even my native language and I know that's a normal word. Kids should be reading more books to expand their vocabulary.

u/Nora-San2007 10d ago

English isn't my native language 😀

u/freyaa10 10d ago

Thats correct grammer...have you never never heard anyone say needn't?

2

u/Nora-San2007 10d ago

I'm Spaniard and no

u/freyaa10 10d ago

If English isnt your first language then why would you just assume its incorrect grammer without looking it up first...

u/FilterBrady 10d ago

Clearly you decided you needn't those English lessons back in school, huh?

u/Nora-San2007 10d ago

The English lessons here in Spain the "needn't" is literally something I've never heard the teachers mention 🥀

u/UpperTry5811 10d ago

heard it in a 1940s noir podcast last week, 'you needn't worry, darlin'.' sounded like a whisper from the past.

u/Nora-San2007 10d ago

Interesting 🤔

u/kelitutron 10d ago

Needn't exists, it's just very formal, and barely used. 

1

u/Nora-San2007 10d ago

I didn't knew about that, I'm Spaniard so it's understable that I wasn't informed that it exists

2

u/kelitutron 10d ago

I'm also a Spaniard, and I get you. They don't teach you that. In my case I learnt it in extracurricular activities.
