[Grammar] Is this correct?- He dares not to run in adverse situation.

[Sahil Dhankhar]

This is not my homework.
I came across some posts over the internet which say that "dare not to" form is not correct but I think it may be correct in the following context.
Please tell me if I am right?

1-He dare not oppose the king. (I think this is correct.)
2-He dares not to oppose the king. (I think this is incorrect as it doesn't make sense because as a verb "dare" means to have the guts and "not to oppose the king" hints at a cowardly disposition.)
3-He dares not to run in an adverse situation. (I think it is possible.)

I would not use "to" after "dare not". I use the bare infinitive.

 

[Sahil Dhankhar]

I think, in the sentence "He dares not to run in an adverse situation.", "not" is not with "dares" and is the part of the infinitive phrase.

That's possible, but it'd be better to rephrase the sentence to avoid potential ambiguity. What's an adverse situation?

 

[Sahil Dhankhar]

"What's an adverse situation?"
A situation that is certainly not favourable and may force people to run from it.

Here's a good look at the verb:
