Dear teachers,
I went to see a doctor in a clinic last week.
I was sitting in the waiting room and I saw a kid rush into the doctor's room when it was his turn to see the doctor.
The nurse was not happy with that kid's behaviour and told him loudly:
"You need to knock the door first and asked for permission to come in"
Is it correct to say "You need to knock the door"?
or is an preposition needed in this case?
Please help, teachers.
Thank you
Kitty
