DARE may be used as a regular and as a defective verb.
It means “to have the courage or impertinence to do smth”. Its use is very restricted.
1. DARE a defective verb has two forms: the present and the past tense forms. In present-day English it is mainly found in questions beginning with ‘how’ and in negative sentences: How dare you to talk to me like that?
2. DARE as a regular verb has all the necessary forms including the verbals. It is mainly used in negative sentences:He did not dare to tell me about it.
3. Notice the colloquial set phrase I dare say(очень возможно, пожалуй, полагаю осмелюсь сказать, не без этого).
