What means the expression "to give a lift to the station"? Or it has only the literal sense?

This means take someone in your car to somewhere.

I just wonder if 'There's no need.' means a bit rude or not?

[Ttg]

I think "there's no requirement" means that you don't have to do something or you are not obligated to do something as in :There's no requirement that jobs be meaningful. If there was, half the country would be unemployed.

While "there's no need" means that I don't need you to do something as in: There's no need to help me do my homework.

Just my two cents.

Hi,

'There's no need' isn't really rude but just a way of saying that you don't have to.

I also thinks so. "There is no need" is not polite!

[Beeesneees]

It's not impolite.
