用法说明
dare的用法比较复杂，可从下面几个方面去掌握：
1.作情态动词时，否定句和疑问句不用do；第三人称单数不加-s；后接不带to的动词不定式。例如：
He dare not tell them what is happening.他不敢告诉他们正在发生的事情。
Dare you tell them what you know?你敢告诉他们你所知道的情况吗？
2. dare作为情态动词多用于现在时。比如，英国人常用daren't表示某人在说话时不敢做某事。例如：
I daren't ask him. Could you do it for me?我不敢问他。你替我问问好吗？
He daren't tell the boss because he doesn't want to make trouble.他不敢告诉老板，因为他不想惹麻烦。
3. dare作普通动词时，否定句和疑问句要用do,后接带to的动词不定式；第三人称单数要加-s,例如：
She didn't dare to tell us what had happened.她不敢告诉我们发生了什么事。
Do you dare to go out at night?你敢夜里出门吗？The little boy doesn't dare to tell the truth.小男孩不敢说实话。
4. 在现代英语中，dare不常用。在非正式文体中，常用其它表达法，如not to be afraid, have the courage to do sth.等。例如：
He's not afraid to speak his mind. 他不怕把自己的想法说出来。
