Пояснение

Модальный глагол need в отрицательной форме need not (needn't) выражает отсутствие необходимости совершать какое-либо действие.

Правило: Подлежащее + need not + глагол в начальной форме без частицы to.

Например:

• You need not take a taxi. — Тебе необязательно брать такси.

• He need not remind me. — Ему необязательно напоминать мне.

• Mother need not cook a pie. — Маме необязательно печь пирог.

Важно: После модального глагола need not частица to не употребляется. Также в третьем лице единственного числа к need не добавляется окончание -s: правильно He need not, а не He needs not.
