The past participle of the word 'need' is 'needed'. Past participles are used to form perfect tenses, such as present perfect tense, where we would say "I have needed." It's like the superhero version of a regular verb, used to describe things that have happened in the past, but are linked to the present. Just as Clark Kent transforms into Superman, 'need' becomes its past participle superhero 'needed' when we need to talk about the result of a previous action in the present.
