1 He doesn’t have a home. He needs something to eat and a place to stay.
2 She needed some help from her father yesterday. （past tense）
She needs the training wheels on her bike. （present tense）
Soon she will need to learn how to ride her bike without the training.
3 He needs someone to talk to.
4 He needs a cup of coffee every morning before he goes to work.
He might need to get more sleep at night.
5 She will need to bring her lunch to school today.
6 Penguins have needed a lot of help in recent years because of global warming and the loss of their habitats around the world.
7 The workers at this company say they need more money. That’s why they are on strike.
Note： “Need” is not put into the continuous form， but in spoken English you hear it. However， that doesn’t mean it’s correct. It’s just that many Americans don’t care if it’s correct or not.
