There is no short answer to your question because they are used a lot a lot.
The explanation would took at least ten pages.
All three belong to modals. Modals never change their form.
(can, must, ought to, shall, will, should, could, might, would, may)
On the other hand they always change all in which they participate.;-)
Modals are chiefly used in the conditionals.
To say either what is permitted or what is possible or what is necessary.
Participate in forming many verb tenses.
