[解题指导]
1. I didn't dare open a window.
解析:Dare 有两种用法,一是作为实义动词,否定和疑问由助动词构成,它有时态和数的变化,后面一般加to。否定时to有时可以省略。
Eg1.With his parents'help, he dares to do everything.
Eg2.He didn't dare (to) look up.
二是作为情态动词,主要用于否定句和疑问句,不需要助动词,可以直接构成否定和疑问,后面不加to.
Eg1.She dare not go out alone at night.
Eg2.How dare you say I'm unfair?
在例句中,dare是作为一个实义动词,后面省略了to.这句话相当于I dare not open a window.
名师点拨: 类似的词还有一个need,也可以既作情态动词,又作实义动词.
Eg1.You needn't telephone him now.( 情态动词)
Eg2.You don't need to do it yourself.( 实义动词)
2. It was the first time in a year and a half that I'd seen the night face to face.
英语中这个结构习惯用完成时态,解释为"某人第几次做某事...".如果前面是一般现在时态 is,后面是现在完成时态;如果前面是一般过去时态,后面则是过去完成时态.
Eg1.It's the third time that he have been to America.
Eg2.It was the second time that we had visited the old hero.
名师点拨: 在句子中应注意前后时态的一致性.
