need
Hi,
Is the following reasoning of mine correct?
1. It need not be dealt with.
In this case, the word 'need' is the modal 'need' in the negative; thus, it need not be inflected.
2. It needs to be dealt with.
In this case, the 'needs' is not in the the modal 'need' form; thus, it needs to be inflected.
