Hi,
'daresay' used to mean possibly or probably is usually written as one word without 'to'.

Dare I mention that "daresay" is not used as an adverb? :wink:

'I daresay' is clearly not an adverb but still means or indicates the idea of 'possibly' or 'probably'.

Hi,
'I dare say you are right' suggests 'I am prepared to admit that you are right'.

Hi,
Thank you so much for this lesson related to the use of say and tell. It was very helpful for me. But, I'm still noticed some errors of setting in the test program. That is the case with question number 8. In spite of writing " said" which is the correct answer, the automatic setting put "telling". I always experienced such cases in the previous lessons.
According to those who are "advanced", I cannot share the same viewpoint. I still need the way you are teaching us, from basics to advanced.

Hello All,
I'd like to add that it is old-fashioned type sentence to Allan's explanation.
Cheers, Mohammad, |

Hi all,
I have a question and been wondering what's the difference between dare you and you dare?
For eg,
"I will snigger at you if you fall down, she said"
He replied, "you dare!" |

Hi Canvas,
In the sense in which it is used in your sentence, 'You dare' suggests that you challenge someone in a joking way to do something which you don't really want them to do. In the sense of 'dare someone to do something' you are openly challenging them to do something as in: I dare you to jump into the sea from this rock.
