Aug 14, 2016 · Fresno CA. English (US - northeast) Aug 14, 2016. #3. In the US we would say: I'll do whatever is necessary. I'll do what is necessary. I'll do whatever is needed. Sometimes you hear "needful" but it is very old-fashioned.
Apr 13, 2019 · Apr 13, 2019. #3. 'It is necessary that ...' is not commonly used in everyday English. It's an awkward very formal sounding construction. We would usually say 'he needs to eat ...' or 'he should eat ...'. Generally speaking, in British English this so called 'subjunctive'/ past form use in a couple of contexts is not favoured although it is ...
Feb 5, 2009 · Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of English Usage confirms the impression: " ... necessary is most often used with to. .... Less often, necessary is used with for." . In some of the examples they give, it seems to me that to and for are not interchangeable. However, I think only to (meaning "in regards to, in relation to") will work here:
Jul 19, 2018 · Senior Member. Colorado. English-US. Jul 17, 2018. #2. "If necessary" sounds a little more likely to me, RomanPins. "If needed" is okay, however. I don't think you need "If it is needed", but that is also something that you could reasonably say in that sentence. If I needed to say that, I would use this sentence: I will call the cops if necessary.

"It would be necessary to analyze additional technological and organizational factors (parameters) and determine the criteria *for (better than "of" I guess?) choosing the optimal variant, as well as produce a report summarizing the results of the analysis." I'd omit the "to" before "produce", as you've done; it's too far from ...
Dec 9, 2008 · Unless necessary, don't tell him about that. I tried paraphrasing this sentence in three ways as follows: 1. Unless it is necessary, don't tell him about that. 2. Unless you find it necessary, don't tell him about that. 3. Unless you think that it is necessary, don't tell him about that.
Sep 12, 2015 · Sep 12, 2015. #7. the wired logics said: In my opinion, you can use both structures: 1. It is necessary THAT SOMEONE DO SOMETHING. In this case, you put the verb in the SUBJUNCTIVE mood (buy using "DO" and not, for example, "DOES"). Some say the subjunctive mood is on its way out. I believe it is also correct to say:
Dec 28, 2008 · Jan 1, 2009. #4. "It's necessary that I be there on time" is correct but sounds wordy, considering the much more concise "I have to be there on time" exists. No native speaker would say the former sentence seriously. "It's necessary that I'll be there on time" sounds wrong to my ears, but maybe not to other anglophones, since these days people ...
Nov 28, 2012 · New Member. In order to better understand the difference between the two I'm trying to compose a few sentences containing these words. 1. The following chemicals must be used during the process of... 2. It is necessary to use the following chemical during the process of... 3. Compliance with the laboratory safety protocol is a must. 4.
