Anonymous Is the word 'needed' possible in these sentences? Yes, I may have heard it said that way, but almost everybody says "need" or "needs" at the end. By the way, it's you fin d , she find s , you nee d , she need s .

Thanks. That is what I thought.

I was just wondering is it is grammatically correct to say 'needed' at the end even though it does not sound the best choice?

Does the same thing apply for:

Is there anything else that you need.

I think 'needed' at the is also possible, but maybe 'need' is better. Is what I said correct?

Is there anything else that you need?

The time frame of the sentence is present (Is there anything...), so the best form is "need." You are asking about what the person needs now, not what they needed at some time in the past.
