"The professor manages to find the book."

Translation:Professorn lyckas hitta boken.

Is lyckas considered a modal? Hence no att? How do i identify modals?

Could hinner be a possible solution to manages in this sentence as looking at time perspective?

No, "lyckas" does not have anything to do with time, while "hinna" always has:

Jag lyckades hinna med tåget - I managed to catch the train

"Professorn lyckas att hittar boken" why is not correct? Why is necessary to add an "med"?

You have to use the infinitive "hitta" without an "r".

I always tend to put an "att" after lyckas. Is that bad or old or just wrong Swedish?

Why not "klarar"
