Difference between ce and Ça
This question relates to:French lesson "Ça = that/this/it (French Demonstrative Pronouns)"

Bonjour Kashmira,
"Ce" is mainly used with the verb "être" to which you will tend to add adjectives or adverbs:
C'est beau ! = It's beautiful!
C'est vraiment beau ! = It's really beautiful!
Ce sera parfait. = It will be perfect.
Ce n'était pas sympa. = It wasn't nice.
You might also find the following but it is considered quite formal/archaic and very rare:
Ce me semble une erreur. = This seems a mistake.
So, in all, you will use "ce + [être]" most of the time.
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !
