Notes

1. いる 'need' takes the は~が construction, where the experiencer (that is, the person or thing that needs something) is followed by は and the necessary object by が.

(⇨ ㊦ は~が)

2. いる 'need' is a Group 1 verb; thus, the negative form is いらない, the polite form is いります and the て-form is いって.

3. The experiencer can also take the particle に, as in (1).

4. In subordinate clauses, the experiencer is followed by either が or に, as in (2), unless the sentence is contrastive. (In that case, は follows.)

(⇨ ㊦ は (1))
