Difference between ce and Ça

when to use Ce and Ça. Because i read that Ce is used only with etre. But that is not always the case. It is even followed by adjective and adverb

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 !
