dare不仅可以做情态动词，也是一个verb，这是它与must之类的最大区别。dare:n. 挑战,挑动v. 敢,胆敢词形变化: 名词:darer 动词过去式:dared 过去分词:dared 现在分词:daring 第三人称单数:dares 例句与用法: 1.情态动词用法：How dare you say so? 你怎拍培敢这样说？ 2.动词用法：（这个例句中，dare同样是动词，但是和LZ给出的例句中的dare意思有差异）He dared me to jump over the river. 他激我跳过河。好了，以下是回答的补充：dareFunction:verb 而作为动词仍有两种用法：Inflected Form:dared ; daring ; dares or (auxiliary) dare 1.作为系动词：verbal auxiliary : to be sufficiently courageous to *no one dared say a word* *she dare not let herself love G. B. Shaw*intransitive senses : to have sufficient courage *try it if you dare*2.作为及物动词：transitive senses （1）厅消 a : to challenge to perform an action especially as a proof of courage *dared him to jump* b : to confront boldly : DEFY *dared the anger of his family*（2）to have the courage to contend against, venture, or try *the actress dared a new interpretation of this classic role*以上补充部分引自Webster，非常权威。（中文部分是我做的一点袭伏唯小小的说明……）不过中学阶段可能只要掌握词性就可以了。希望对你有帮助。
