neednt have done表示: 过去不必做某事, 但事实上做了。

John went to the station with the car to meet Mary, so she neednt have walked back home. 约翰开车去车站接玛丽,所以她本不必步行回家了。
典型例题
There was plenty of time. She ___.
A. mustnt have hurried B. couldnt have hurried C. must not hurry D. neednt have hurried
答案D。neednt have done. 意为本不必,即已经做了某事,而时实际上不必要。
Mustnt have done 用法不正确,对过去发生的事情进行否定性推断应为couldnt have done, 不可能已经。 must not do 不可以(用于一般现在时)。
