She beautiful.
✅ Benar:
She is beautiful.
Karena adjective beautiful membutuhkan to be ketika menjadi predikat.
❌ Salah:
He is a handsome.
✅ Benar:
He is handsome.
atau
He is a handsome boy.
Handsome sebagai adjective tidak menggunakan a secara langsung.
❌ Salah:

✅ Benar:
She is beautiful.
Karena setelah to be kita menggunakan adjective untuk menjelaskan subject.
