need + v-ing
Sometimes it's useful to talk about fixing or improving things, but without saying who is going to do it. To do this, we can use need + verb-ing.
There are three parts to this structure. First,
you name the thing – my hair, or the car, or my shoes. Then you say
'need' - or 'needs' - and finally, a verb with –ing.
My
hair needs cutting
The
curtains don't need washing
Do
the plants need watering?
