But we can use 'needn't like a modal verb in negative sentences like : You needn’t buy any eggs. We have plenty at home.
I couldn't get that why the first sentence I wrote is incorrect. Is it because of the pronoun 'you' ?
The difference between 'needn't' and 'don't have to' doesn't change anything. In either case, 'I go by car' refers to a habit.I got it...Thanks... I have one more question about it.
I don’t have to take the minibus to school. I go in my car. (That's ok - if you're talking about a daily routine, say. Otherwise it would be 'I'm going by car ' or 'I can go by car' or something.)
I needn't take the minibus to school. I go in my car. (Is it ok?)
In my grammar book, it is written that the second sentence is wrong because of the habit and simple present in this way. Is that right or not?
So we can use 'needn't' in this case, is that right?
I needn't take the minibus to school. I go by my car.
