Need

Different degrees of assurance about an action or a fact can be expressed using modal auxiliary verbs.

Complete certainty:

The modal auxiliaries "can, must, shall, and will" can be used to convey perfect assurance.

Probability and possibility:

The modal auxiliaries "ought, should and may" can be used to represent probability or possibility

Weak probability:

We can use the words "could or might" to express a low probability.

Theoretical possibility:

We can use the word "can" to represent theoretical potential.

Conditional possibility:

It is predicated on a set of circumstances.

In the condition of necessity, we should use "need".
