Usage notes
* Dare is a semimodal verb. The speaker can choose whether to use the auxiliary "to" when forming negative and interrogative sentences. For example, "I don't dare (to) go" and "I dare not go" are both correct. Similarly "Dare you go?" and "Do you dare (to) go?" are both correct. * In negative and interrogative sentences where "do" is not used, the third-person singular form of the verb is usually "dare" and not "dares": "Dare he go? He dare not go." * Colloquially, "dare not" can be contracted to "daren't". * The expression dare say'', used almost exclusively in the first-person singular and in the present tense, means "think probable". It is also spelt ''daresay . * Historically, the simple past of dare was durst. In the 1830s, it was overtaken by dared, which has been markedly more common ever since.Derived terms
