知识点解析
英语中,有两个词扮演着双重角色,这两个词是dare和need。
今天,我们先了解dare的用法:
1. dare作半情态助动词,意思是“敢于”,主要用于疑问句和否定句中,一般不用在肯定句中。比如:
The little girl dare not speak in public. 【否定句】
小女孩不敢在公众面前说话。
Dare you tell him the news? 【疑问句】
你敢告诉他这个消息吗?
2. dare除用作情态动词外,还可以当实义动词使用。比如:
He doesn't dare to tell his parents what happened that day.
他不敢告诉父母那天发生的事。
需要注意的是,当dare作实义动词时:
在肯定句中,dare后面通常接带to的不定式,比如:
我敢游过这条河。【肯定句】
I dare to swim across this river.
而在否定句和疑问句中,dare后面可接带to或不带to的不定式,比如:
他不敢承认这件事。【否定句】
He does not dare to admit this. (√)
He does not dare admit this. (√)
今天的知识点稍微有点难,不过大侠们还是要敢于挑战后面的题目哦。 (ง •_•)ง
