Hello,
I learned in school that it's wrong to say:
I'm needing my book right now.
That means it has to be:
I need my book right now.
(If it's actually right...)
However, I often read such things:
You won't be needing this.
(Movies, games, and so on.)
Does this mean the word needing can be used for future 2?
(What's the name of this tense?)
Or can needing be used all the time?
(As the 1st sentence which would be wrong as I learned it...)
Thank you!
Cheers!
