What it means
ことはない expresses that there is no need or reason to do something. It usually follows a verb in the dictionary form and gives reassurance that an action is unnecessary. The polite counterpart is ことはありません, which keeps the same meaning in a polite sentence.
Usage note
In this pattern, ことはない means “there is no need to,” not generally “never.” The surrounding context determines whether the statement is advice, reassurance, or a denial of necessity.
