Dare in English | Uses of Dare Semi Modal


First Use:-

                 We use “Daren’t + Verb (Present Form)” as a semi modal in English Language when we don’t have courage to do something.

Examples:-

  • He daren’t speak ill of me before me.
  • We daren’t argue him on this topic.
  • Does Bill dare to have Sara on carpet?
  • Do you dare to tell him the truth?

Second Use:-

               We use “How dare you + Verb (Present Form)” when we are surprised or angry on something.

Examples:

  • How dare you come in?
  • How dare you snatch my pen?

Third Use:-
