Modal Verbs (can-could-should-would-shall-will-need) and Causative verbs 
in English Grammar 
A modal is a type of auxiliary (helping) verb that is used to express: ability, possibility, permission or obligation. Modal phrases (or semi-modals) are used to express the same things as modals, but are a combination of auxiliary verbs and the preposition to. The modals and semi-modals in English are:

Present Tense
Subject + can + bare infinitive
Examples:
I can drive my car.
He can sing a song.
You can play games here.
Past Tense
Examples:
I could not go to the party yesterday.
He could sing a song last night.
You could win the games last night.
Other Examples:
'Need' as a noun
There is no need to go there. 
This is an urgent need of ours.

'Need' as a Transitive Verb
They need some money. (AV)
Some money is needed by them. (PV
He needs more books to study. 
(These sentences can be changed into passive voice form also)

'Need' as a Modal Verb
