State of being verbs describe a state of existence or condition. They are often used to describe qualities, feelings, or relationships. Some common examples include:
* be (am, is, are, was, were, been, being)
* seem
* appear
* feel
* look
* sound
* taste
* smell
"Can" is a modal verb. Modal verbs are auxiliary verbs that express modality, which is a speaker's attitude or opinion about the possibility, necessity, or permission of an action. They are used to express:
* Ability: *I can swim.*
* Permission: *You can leave now.*
* Possibility: *It can rain tomorrow.*
* Request: *Can you help me?*
Therefore, "can" is not a state of being verb but a modal verb that expresses ability, permission, possibility, or request.
