- The core modals are generally accepted as CAN, COULD, MAY, MIGHT, MUST, SHALL, SHOULD, WILL and WOULD.
- NEED (not followed by 'to') can function as a modal as can, less commonly, DARE.
- When these two verbs are followed by a to- infinitive and or use the primary auxiliary DO, they are not functioning as modals.

I can't to go
3. do not, in standard varieties of English, coll

As far as I know, there are some rules and resolution in "MODALS" at the time of using verb.Yes, I am talking about 'transitive or intransitive' verbs. Actually, I don't know the proper way of making sentence by 'transitive or intransitive' verbs and can I understand, it is transitive or it is intransitive? Is there any way to identify that?

A good dictionary will tell you if a verb is transitive (used with an object) or intransitive (no object). Many English verbs can be used either way, and it depends on the context.
