What are modal verbs?

In Italian there are three modal verbs: potere, volere and dovere. They mean to be able to, to want to and to have to.

After each of these verbs, one must use the infinitive. Furthermore, in the passato prossimo, it is important to note that you decide which auxillary verb to use depending on the infinitive coming after the modal verb rather than the modal verb itself.
