                      说话人的权威 | 
                      外界的权威 | 
                     
                    
                      | 将来时 | 
                      need not  | 
                      shan't/won't need to 
                        shn't/won't have to  | 
                     
                    
                      | 现在时 | 
                      need not  | 
                      don't/doesn't need to 
                        don't/doesn't have to 
                        haven't/hasn't got to  | 
                     
                    
                      过去时 
                      (参见第150节B) | 
                      didn't need to 
                        didn't have to 
                      hadn't got to  | 
                     
                                     
                  但是,关于 needn't 在间接引语中的用法,参见上面第148节C。 
                  shan't/won't need to = shan't/won't have to  
                  don't/doesn't need to = don't/doesn't have to  
                  didn't need to = didn't have to(但 didn't have to 更常见) 
                  从上面的表格中可以看出,与 haven't/hasn't got to 和 hadn't got to 完全同义的 need 的形式是不存在的。  |
