Modals are normally associated with raising verbs. Dare seems to have some control-like properties. He dare __ ask her is akin to He dare himself ask her. Where the ID of that 'gap' is governed by he. Compare with She dare __ be asked by him, which is like She dare herself be asked by him. The governed bits filled in with bold words also function kinda like DO's. So, they are like I persuaded her to punch Bob which isn't the same as I persuaded Bob to be punched by her. | |
