Must :: We use must when we feel sure that something is true because there’s very strong evidence.
Might, May or Could : We use might, may or could to say that we think something is possible but we’re not sure.
Can`t : We use can’t when we feel sure something is not true.
'Must', 'might', 'may', 'could' and 'can't' have many more meanings and are used to talk about different situations. Here we have looked at them used for a present deduction.
