Grammar
The suitable modals.
Hi,
Could you please correct these uses of modals?
1.A: I have a splitting headache.
B: I have told you not to sit in the draught, but you (do, always) would always do. May it serves you right!
2.A: What does this notice say?
B: "You (leave) must leave bags and umbrellas in the cloakroom".
A: Anything else that it says?
B: "You (touch) can touch the paintings in this gallery".
Notice: (I didn't use "Mustn't" above because they didn't give "Not" between brackets.
3. A: Hello, (I, speak) can I speak to Mike?
B: I'm sorry he's not in.
A: Do you have any idea when he (be) may be back?
B: Yes, he left a note before going out to say that he (not,be) won't be home before seven this evening.
Thank you so much.

Hi angel girl,
The format in which you are asking for help in the use models doesn't seem to effectively serve the purpose as there are other sensible answers that can semantically fit the contexts other than the highlighted (or bold) in my opinion. For examples:
