Is "Needn't have to" correct? If not, what is?
Hey everyone, in my university course we have to practice how to correct students' exams. Our tutor is British so I'm a bit confused if the following (fictional) student answer is supposed to be British English or just wrong. The sentence is the following: **"She needn’t have to sit in the strange smelling bus after school."** Obviously, "She didn't have to sit..." would definitely be correct but I know that especially in British English, "needn't" is also used for certain things. Just... how do you use "needn't"? Which verb tense do the verbs after that need? And how would that sentence be if you used "needn't" correctly? Doesn't "needn't" make "have to" redundant? The longer I look at the sentence, the more AFK is my brain so I hope that someone might help me :')

what without the T?
Recently I’ve noticed that a lot of Americans don’t say the ‘T’ in what. The only time I really hear the T is when they’re really trying to emphasize the word. Why do they do this?
Did this student write “sung” or “sang”?

Should I actually not put subtitles when I watch something?
I’ve seen so many english teacher online says about subtitles being not helpful when it comes to learning english in general. but for me I still find it difficult to understand everything what they say without subs. so I was wondering if i should stick with watching movies or youtube without subs even tho I don’t know whats happening in it or you think subs still have benefits in terms of listening comprehension

This feels like an odd sentence structure to me, is it correct?
I'd think it should be 'But the more time went by, the less response he became', or 'But as more time went by, he became less responsive'. Something like that.
