C.dare not tell

D.dares not to tell

答案

C

既可以作行为动词又可作情态动词的词除了need以外还有dare.

①dare:作情态动词用,一般用于否定句、疑问句及条件状语从句中,一般不用于肯定句中。有时态变化,但没有人称变化。如:

He dared not go out alone at night. 他夜晚不敢独自出去。

I daren’t ask you, because I thought I was wrong. 我没敢告诉你,担心自己错了。

②dare:作行为动词用,在肯定句中常后接带to 的不定式;否定、疑问句中要用do, does, did等助动词,在否定和疑问句中可接带to或不带to的不定式。有人称和时态变化。如:

I didn’t dare (to) come. 他不敢来。

Does he dare (to) swim across the river? 他敢游过河吗?

本题中dare是情态动词的用法。
