Basic rule
"Can", "may" and "must" are used in the present tense. But "may" is only used in questions. In the other tenses you usually use "(to) be able to", "(to) be allowed to" and "(to) have to".
Deeper explanation
| Present | Past | Future |
|---|---|---|
| Can | was/were able to / could | will be able to |
| May | was/were allowed to | will be allowed to |
| Must | had to | will have to |

In the past you usually use simple past and in the future the will-future. For "was/were able to" .You'd use "could" if the sentences is negativ or if you realised something. These forms can also be used in the present tense.
