Need you to buy so many books?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. to buy.
- Here, need is a modal verb as helping verb do/are.. etc.
- As per the sentence, it will follow the structure:
- Modal (Need) + subject (you) + 1st form of verb (buy) + object (so many books).
- Hence, 'to' will be removed as per the structure of the sentence.
- Therefore, 'to buy' has the error.
The correct sentence will be:
Need you buy so many books?
