Usando "to dare" (ousar)

1) no seu uso mais comum, o verbo que vem depois fica no infinitivo com "to":

- He dares to say what comes to his mind.
- Ele ousa dizer o que lhe vem à mente.

- You wouldn't dare to tell him the truth!
- Você não ousaria dizer a verdade a ele.
2) embora raro, "dare" também pode ser usado como verbo auxiliar:

- Dare he say that?
- Ele ousa dizer isso?

- I daren't say what I think!
- Eu não ouso dizer o que penso.
3) no inglês moderno, a sua ocorrência se dá mais em frases negativas:

- They don't dare to go out without me!
- Eles não ousam sair sem mim!

- She didn't dare to open the door.
- Ela não ousou abrir a porta.
4) e temos a expressão "dare say"

- I dare say we'll keep the quarantine until July.
- Eu suponho que vamos manter a quarentena até julho!

(tomara que eu esteja errado...)
E pra terminar, apenas lembrando de sinônimos de ousar e que podem ser melhores traduções dependendo da frase:

ousar, ter coragem de, atrever-se, aventurar-se.
