Dear teachers,
I came across a sentence which I don't understand. The sentence is as follows:
And complete freedom will finally become our chain, leaving us with no choice but to live in loneliness, with no one who need to care about us.
The problem is in the last part of the sentence 'with no one who need to care about us'. I have two questions concerning this part.
Question 1: This part means ' some one who should take care of us doesn't do so'. Am I right?
Question 2: I think there is a grammatical mistake. The grammar should be 'with no one who needs to care about us' or 'with no one who need care about us'. The first choice is that need is a verb. The second choice is that need is an auxiliary verb. Am I right?
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you in advance.
Jiang
