The article embarks upon highlighting the syntactic evolution of 'dare' and 'need' which culminates in the verbs' present status of marginal modals. With the two verbs' fluctuations on the modal-lexical continuum in Old and Middle English taken for granted, three major stops emerge in this analysis, namely the language of Shakespeare, the language of Charles Dickens and Present Day English. Each time the occurrences of dare and need in the corpora come under scrutiny with a view to illustrating the overall syntactic profiles of the verbs.
