Grammar
need...necessarily
Hi
I am thinking if need and necessarily are OK here.
Does the first convey the same meaning of the second?
Please give your comments.
1.She does not necessarily have to use this way: She can choose the one she wants to take.
2.She need not necessarily use this way: She can choose the one she wants to take.

Neither is wrong, but 'need , . necessarily' seems rather awkward and repetitive. The word 'method' seems to fit your context better than 'way'.

- W do not 'take a way' (or 'take a method)'.

CliveNeither is wrong, but 'need , . . necessarily' seems rather awkward and repetitive.It sounded odd to me, as well. That's why I had that question. Your answer puts all doubts about it to rest!
Thank you,Clive.
