Modal verbs you already know:

can = kunnen/mogen

to be able to = kunnen / in staat zijn om

could = zou kunnen

must = moeten

have to = moeten

should = zou moeten

can, could or be able to?

Be able to is possible in all tenses - 

but "can" is possible only in the present 

and "could" is possible only in the past for ability.

must, should or have to?

must - for personal opinions

should -  for advice

have to - when somebody in authority has said it is necessary to do.

New modal verbs in ch 4:

Ought to - zou moeten (more formal than should)
