1) dare用作實義動詞,此時其後的動詞不定式可帶to也可不帶to,且dare有人稱和數以及時態的變化。例如:
I dare to jump down from the top of the wall. 我敢從那墻頭上跳下來。
She doesn\'t dare (to) meet her teacher\'s eyes. 她不敢與老師對視。
2) dare用作情態動詞,後跟動詞原形,主要用於疑問句、否定句和條件句中。例如:
How dare she do things like that to me? 她怎麽敢對我做那種事?
-Dare you catch the mouse? 妳敢去抓那只老鼠嗎?
-I daren\'t do that. 我不敢抓。
If you dare say that to our teacher, I would vote for you. 如果妳敢向我們的老師說那件事,我就投妳壹票。
