Hi,
there is a slight differences between these three examples:
1-Needn't have done
2-Didn't have to
3-Didn't need to
1- He needn't have taken a taxi:the action took place but it was unnecessary, so, he took a taxi but it was not necessary, maybe he was not late.
2-Didn't have to: the action did not take place because it was unnecessary, thus, He did not take the taxi .
Could you please tell me the meaning of the third sentence?
Thank you in advance.
