Use “can,” “have to,” and “must” to discuss job-related necessity and prohibition, make predictions about work, and learn how to respond empathetically to others.
Use imperatives and “should” to offer advice, tactfully give recommendations, and write clear messages advising others on various topics, including learning English.
