"need do"和"need to do"有什么不同? 老师说"need do"里的need是情态动词,"need to do"里的need是行为动词.这两个用法有什么不同?不都是"需要"的意思吗?

【美国人】常用“You didn't need to do”来代替【英国人】的“You needn't have done”。(个人观点)

1,need do:没有这种用法。 2,need to do: 这里need为“实际意义”动词。 3,needn't do: 这里是“情态动词”否定式。 4,don't need to do: 这里是“实义动词”否定式。 5,我感觉,英国人喜欢用needn't do,而美国人喜欢用don't need to do。 6,还有一个差异:You needn't have done 表示(你已经做了某事,但这件事本来不必做的)。 而 You don't need to do 表示(在你没做某事前,有人告诉你不必做)。

情态动词后面加动词原形,情态动词本身没有人称和数的变化,行为动词后面不能直接加动词,要用不定式或者分词,只知道这些,大家指正。
