Usage note: Depending on the sense, the verb 'need' behaves sometimes like an auxiliary verb (such as can or may) and sometimes like a main verb (such as want or try). When used as a main verb, 'need' agrees with its subject, takes the word 'to' before the verb following it and combines with 'do' in questions, negations and certain other constructions ('he needs to go' 'does he need to go so soon?' 'he doesn't need to go'). When used as an auxiliary verb, 'need' does not agree with its subject, does not take 'to' before the verb following it and does not combine with 'do' (he needn't go; need he go so soon?) The auxiliary forms of 'need' are used primarily in present-tense questions, negations and conditional clauses. They differ subtly in meaning from the main verb forms in that they always refer to an externally imposed.obligation. Hence one might say 'You needn't (or less formally 'don't need to') fill out both forms', but where the sense of necessity is internal to the subject, only the main verb can be used as in 'I don't need to (not needn't) be told how to manage my own affairs'. Note also that the use of 'need' as an auxiliary is often accompanied by a presupposition that the activity in question has in fact been performed, such as, 'The boys needn't have spoken frankly' implies that they did in fact speak frankly, whereas the sentence 'The boys did not need to speak frankly' does not; only the latter could be followed by a clause like they conveyed their meanings by indirection.

Napoleon Bonaparte.(Napoleon I), 1769-1821, emperor of the French, who consolidated and institutionalized many reforms of the French Revolution. One of the greatest military commanders of all time, he conquered the larger part of Europe and did much to modernize the nations he ruled.
   In 1799 he failed to capture Syria, but he won a smashing victory over the Turks at Abû Qîr (Abukir). France, meanwhile, faced a new coalition; Austria, Russia and lesser powers had allied with Britain. Bonaparte decided to leave his army and return to save France. In Paris, he joined a conspiracy against the government. In the coup d'etat of November 9-10, 1799 (18-19 Brumaire {second month of the Revolutionary calendar (October and November}), he and his colleagues seized power and established a new regime, the Consulate.
   Under its constitution, Bonaparte, as first consul, had almost dictatorial powers. The constitution was revised in 1802 to make Bonaparte consul for life and in 1804 to create him emperor. Each change received the overwhelming assent of the electorate. In 1800, he assured his power by crossing the Alps and defeating the Austrians at Marengo. He then negotiated a general European peace that established the Rhine River as the eastern border of France. He also concluded an agreement with the pope (the Concordat of 1801), which contributed to French domestic tranquillity by ending the quarrel with the Roman Catholic church that had arisen during the Revolution. In France the administration was reorganized, the court system was simplified and all schools were put under centralized control. French law was standardized in the Code Napoléon or civil code and six other codes. They guaranteed the rights and liberties won in the Revolution, including equality before the law and freedom of religion..Microsoft® Encarta® Encyclopedia 99. © 1993-1998 Microsoft Corporation.
