COULD He is the past of "can"; indicates possibility or ability in the past. EXAMPLES: Joe could speak english when he was young Could you pass the salt please?

MAY As "could", "may" is used to indicate possibilities in the future. EXAMPLES: You may leave if you like. May I leave now?

MIGHT "Might" is used to indicate possibilities in the present or the future. In these cases, it is a synonym for May. EXAMPLES: I would bring an umbrella, it might rain later.

WILL "Will" is used to form the future tense. Also the use of "will" means will or determination. EXAMPLES: I will help you. Will they find a cure for cancer?

SHALL The use of "shall" is much more common in the UK and is generally more polite. EXAMPLES: Chris shall be happy to see you. Shall we go to the movies or a museum?

SHOULD Indicates an obligation or recommendation. Reflect an opinion on what is right. EXAMPLES: I should call my parents more often Should we leave a tip?

OUGHT TO It is synonymous with "should". EXAMPLES: She ought to quit smoking. They ought to work less.
