A modal is a type of auxiliary (helping) verb that is used to express: ability, possibility, permission or obligation. Modal phrases (or semi-modals) are used to express the same things as modals, but are a combination of auxiliary verbs and the preposition to . Can, could, may, might, will, would, shall, should, and must...are some modals...

Hope it helps :)
