Modal auxiliaries are special helping verbs that show how necessary or possible something is. Words like can, may, must, and should change the meaning of the main verb. For example, 'You must clean your room' means it is a rule, while 'You should clean your room' is just good advice. Choosing the right one helps you say exactly what you mean!
