"Blends between the auxiliary construction and the main verb construction occur and seem to be widely acceptable (more so in the case of
dare than in that of
need):
They
do not
dare ask for more.
Do they
dare ask for more?
These two examples combine the DO-support of the main verb construction with the bare infinitive of the auxiliary construction. On the hypothesis that there are two different verbs (the main verb DARE and the auxiliary verb
dare),
one would expect these to be ungrammatical; but they are not. The past tense form
dared without DO-support may be regarded as another example of a blend, since the -
ed past inflection is not characteristic of modal verbs:
They
dared not carry out their threat."
I dlaczego nie wyjaśnili dlaczego te zdania
są gramatycznie poprawne? :) Czy odpowiedź kryje się w słowie
blend, które można traktować po prostu jako wyjątek?
PS dopisek w temacie pozwoli mi na łatwiejsze wyszukiwanie wątków w przyszłości.
