The short answer to your question, though, is that both are correct. I would only add that “need not” is probably less common in colloquial speech, and even then it is often contracted to “needn’t”.
But “should not have” is the more natural order when you mean the same thing by both. “Should have not” is sometimes appropriate, for the same situations in which a “split infinitive” is sometimes appropriate. Also “should have” sometimes has a sort of “meta” meaning that would make “should have not” more logical.
Subsequently, Do not need to VS need not?
There can be a difference in meaning between “need not” (no “to”) and “don’t need to”. Generally “need not” is less personal and has less to do with the noun “need” than “don’t need to”.
Also, Which is correct does not or do not?
DON’T (do not) is the negative form of DO while DOESN’T (does not) is the negative form of DOES. The tiny difference is: – Use DOES / DOESN’T if the subject is third-person singular (he, she, it). – Use DO / DON’T everywhere else.
Which is correct need or needs?
“He needs” is correct, because “he” (as well as “she” and “it”) is a third-person singular subjective pronoun, and as such needs the corresponding tense (“needs”) of the verb “to need.” The verb form “need” would work for all the other subjective pronouns, such as “I,” “you,” “we,” and “they.”
