Is "(it) looks like rain" the most common way of saying you think it's gonna rain soon after you've just looked up to the sky?

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 :')
Is "adulting" a real word?
I never heard this word growing up but now it's everywhere. Does anyone else feel like this is a strange sounding word? It seems to have sneaked into the dictionary so I'm assuming its in use. Personally I never use it.
APPLE CIDER isn’t the same drink in the US and the UK, is it? It doesn’t contain alcohol in the US, right?

What is the "correct" English
Earlier today in an english test, we were asked to transform nouns into verbs (give the verb-form of said noun) one of the nouns were "charity" i answered with "to charit" and it was considered wrong, because it is archaic and obsolete meaning belongs to the old english and rarely ever used today (the correct answer was no answer btw!) , so this made me wonder, what is the "correct" english language. if it's the modern english, then should words modernly created by gen z such as to rizz or to ghost be considered correct?since it's wildly used by half the globe and even got recognized by the OED.
Did this student write “sung” or “sang”?
I am not sure whether that is “sung” or “sang”. Any ideas?
Pausing is crucial
