The modal verbs are:
| can may must shall will |
could might should would |
We use modals to show if we believe something is certain, possible or impossible:
My keys must be in the car.
It might rain tomorrow.
That can't be Peter's coat. It's too small.
We also use them to do things like talk about ability, ask permission, and make requests and offers:
I can't swim.
May I ask a question?
Could I have some tea, please?
Would you like some help?

hi sop
I studied enough but I'm really confused when I make a sentence to say.
I'm not sure when I use should or have to or must.
So I want to know difference. Please help me.
For example,
1. We have to meet at 6 o'clock at the station.
2. You should get up early than before.
3. I'll have to look at my phone(Series 01 Episode 06)
I want to cancel this question. Could you tell me how i can that?
Hi Lina,
Do you mean you want to delete your comment? That's not something users can do and we don't normally do it for our visitors, but if you are sure you want it, I can delete it for you.
Please confirm that's what you want.

Hello, I have a question please. I am a little bit confused about the wording of my sentence written in my report (in the action items section): "The investigator to correct the entry" meaning that the investigator has/needs to correct the entry. Is my first sentence correct? is it possible to remove "has/needs" in the sentence when we want to use "have to" need to"? I'm not quite sure about my wording even if I'm sure I have heard some phrases like this... Thank you for your help.
Bye
Hello Kouldz
I've come across this in business documents such as action lists and minutes of meetings, so yes it is appropriate for the action items section of your report and your wording is correct.
I hope this helps
All the best
