need

This is the only form you need fill in.
This is the only form you need to fill in.
what is the difference?

I need to fill in this form.
I need fill in this form. Is this sentence correct? Why not?
When does 'need' have ordinary verb form and when modal auxiliary one?

I did not need to go on shank's mare.
I need not have gone on shank's mare.
difference?

thanks in advance

Note that "modal 'need'" is only non-assertive, i.e., has no assertive forms, i.e., has to have a negative or interrogative context.
Why is the following sentence correct then:
This is the only form you need fill in?
