【用法】

1. 1 In modern English, there are two quite distinct uses for the verb need. In the first place it is used as a normal verb meaning ‘requireI need some money: I need to see her todaySecond, it is one of a small class of verbs called modals (like can, could, and might, for example), which cannot stand alone without another verb and do not take normal verb endings or normal negative constructions, e.ghe need not worrynot he needs not worry: he can't swimnot he doesn't can swimBecause of this dual grammatical status, it is sometimes called a semi-modal.2 The two constructions in that shirt needs washingverb + present participle) and that shirt needs to be washedverb + infinitive and past participle) have more or less the same meaning. Both these constructions are acceptable in standard English, but a third constructionthat shirt needs washedverb + bare past participle), is restricted to certain dialects of Scotland and North America and is not considered acceptable in standard English
