The grammar rule (Modal + base form): After a modal use the base verb: she can swim (not “can swims”, not “can to swim”). Modals do not change with the subject: he can, they can. could is the past of can: When I was five, I could swim. “have to / has to” also shows a rule: she has to wear a uniform.
