This might help:
1. can't be
2. might be (or could be either one)
3. have to
4. can't
5. mustn't
6. might (or could - either one really)
7. had to
8. may
9. must (or "has to" - either one really).

As for help in the future, I really suggest you go to your teacher and ask her/him to really sort out what the different verbs MEAN - and really UNDERSTAND what a F*cking "auxiliary verb" is and what a "modal verb" is. It can be very confusing, but once you know all the parts, you can really talk the talk (no pun intended). You might want to go to a tutor or a friend to REALLY HELP YOU UNDERSTAND ALL THE LITTLE PARTS OF LANGUAGE (which can be ridiculously confusing). If you can't get any help any place else, I'm wiling to help you over the email - if that's possible.
