Grammar: dareDare (sense 1) usually forms negatives and questions like an ordinary verb and is often followed by an infinitive with to. It is most common in the negative: I didn’t dare to ask. He won’t dare to break his promise. You told him? How did you dare? I hardly dared to hope that she’d remember me.
In positive sentences, a phrase like not be afraid is often used instead:She wasn’t afraid (= she dared) to tell him the truth.
It can also be used like a modal verb, especially in present tense negative forms, and is followed by an infinitive without to: I dare not tell her the truth.
In spoken English, the forms of the ordinary verb are often used with an infinitive without to:Don’t you dare tell her what I said! I didn’t dare look at him.
