Everyone ought to do this. vs Everyone are ought to do this.

The correct phrase is "everyone ought to do this." The verb "ought" is followed by "to" and the base form of the verb, so it should be "ought to do." The second phrase, "everyone are ought to do this," is incorrect as it uses "are" inappropriately.
