when do we use BE and not Be Forms?

Hi there

Could anyone explain when we use 'be' in sentences? Not the forms like is, are, been, etc. From the example below, I understand that it is generally used after modal verbs.

ex:this can probably be explained....

Regards

Do you mean the usage of infinitive without "to"? So instead of for example "to be" just "be"?
