!Common mistakes 3

✗ The captain showed many daring in the match.

✓ The captain showed great daring in the match.

Daring as a noun is uncountable, so use great or much, not many.

Noun के रूप में daring uncountable है, इसलिए many नहीं, great या much का प्रयोग करें।

✗ He dared not to go near the tiger.

✓ He dared not go near the tiger.

In the negative, dare often works like a modal verb and is followed by the bare verb, without 'to'.

Negative वाक्य में dare प्रायः modal की तरह चलता है और इसके बाद 'to' के बिना bare verb आती है।

✗ She is a daring of her class.

✓ She is the most daring girl in her class.

Daring as an adjective needs a noun to describe and cannot stand alone after 'a'.

विशेषण daring को वर्णन के लिए noun चाहिए; वह 'a' के बाद अकेला नहीं आ सकता।
