Phrase
I'm familiar with the idiom "Don't you dare".
But could this be used in an affirmative way?
For instance, would it be correct to say;
a) "Dare to pose that question."
b) "Dare to wear what you like."
Top answer
" Yes, these are possible. Sentences such as these are more likely to be written sentences than spoken sentences, possibly with a journalistic flavour.
