Grammar: Modal Verbs (and similar expressions) for advice and obligation

modal verbs: can/could, shall/should, will/would, may/might, must
similar expressions: have to, be able to, need to, be allowed to

Modals must be the first verb, they don’t change for he/she/it, and the next verb is always the base form.
Similar expressions have the same meaning as some modals, but they change for he/she/it, they can go after another verb, and they can be in different tenses.

* After I get my license next year, I will can drive. (WRONG, because “can” can’t go second)
-> After I get my license next year, I will be able to drive.

Do you have to wash rice before you cook it?
Do you have to eat fish on the day you buy it?
Do you have to rinse pasta after you boil it?

Are there other things for which you and your partners disagree about what you “have to” do with food? How about you and your host family?
