    Can you please make a video that "Don't dare do the job." Is wrong. My non-native friend says it is right to say that.

      Hey there, according to the Cambridge Dictionary “dare” (as a verb) with the meaning of “challenge someone” takes “to + infinitive”. Source: dictionary.cambridge.org/grammar/british-grammar/dare
      However, according to Cambridge, “Dare also means ‘to be brave enough or rude enough to do something’. With this meaning, it can be used as an ordinary main verb, which can be followed by a to-infinitive or an infinitive without to. Less commonly, it can be used as a semi-modal verb followed by an infinitive without to”.
      So, in your friend’s case “don’t dare do this job” it seems to me that this is correct if we cite the second rule above.

    You couldn't provide a more useless and incomplete explanation... Really, not even if you had dared to...
    How do you formulate questions and negative sentences with it?? Do you need any auxiliary verb or does this verb work as auxiliary one by itself like "can" or "may"? Can you also use it without object-pronoun after it?
    The more you search the Internet, the more you find the usual repetitive redundant copy-and-paste stuff...😑
    If I try to search for something a bit more specific, like something over B1 level, it's useless...
