When you make a question you must use the auxiliar. When you use a verb, the following should be either ing or infinitive, depending on the first verb.
I need to do it...I love singing...
This takes a longer explanation, of course, you can do some on-line further surfing!!!!  |
Hi Sandra! If I'm not mistaken, "Need I go to school?" is indeed gramatically correct.
Need is used as a modal here. I don't know if it's commonly used or not but I definitely remember studying modals in school and "need" was one of them.
Perhaps a native of England might be able to give us more examples!
