A modal verb is a type of auxiliary verb that expresses possibility, ability, permission, or necessity.

Have to/ need to/ must

We use have to/need to/must when we talk about rules and things that are necessary. 

You have no choice, or it’s a very strong suggestion:

• You must talk to your manager about the problem.
• We have to pay tax on the money we earn.
• I need to get up early to catch my flight tomorrow.

Should/Shouldn't

We use should/shouldn’t when we are giving advice. 

We use should to talk about things that are a good idea, and shouldn’t to talk about things that are not a good idea:

• You should come to work in smart clothes.
• You shouldn’t arrive late to meetings.
• Should I wear a tie?
