Practice

  1. 1
    verb
    Third-person singular simple present of bare.

    The wolf bares its fangs at any intruder near the den.

    She bares her shoulders whenever the weather turns warm.

    Note

    The -s form belongs to the verb of uncovering, and it runs figurative as readily as literal: a wolf bares its fangs, and a confession bares a secret. Keep it apart from bears, the same sound spelled for the verb bear. An older bare once served as a past tense of bear but is now obsolete. A past tense never takes -s, so bares always means uncovering.

bares is a form of bare
