AnonymousSo. Maybe, I'll use "to need". What about " I need a money" and "He never needs for friends" Is it correct?"To need" is fine. We also use "to be in need."
AvangiHe never needs/wants for friends is correct.I think "he never needs friends" is misleading. If you mean to say that he always has enough friends, I would sugggest "He never lacks friends." "He never needs friends" sounds to me as though he never has friends, because he never needs or wants them.
khoffI think "he never needs friends" is misleading.I agree. I wouldn't use it as a substitute for "he never needs for friends."
