So beautiful a girl was she that the prince felt in love with her at first sight (source of this sentence is unknown to me, it's just another xerox copy from my teacher) i would say Such a beautiful girl was she. The subject in the sentence is the clause what interests me, with the linking verb is and the complement beautiful girls My understandig is that you treat the complement beautiful girls as a group of women hence a singular connotation. You look beautiful but i'm concerned about the use of present simple in the above sentence i think the present continuous tense should be used in the above sentence because the girl was looking beautiful continuously at that time but the use of present simple means the girl looks beautiful all the time always
I think it would be complimentary to describe a man as beautiful, but if you describe him as pretty it implies that he is somewhat effeminate Is beautiful more universally applicable than pretty? No it doesn’t have the same meaning (1) uses a superlative, which compares this girl with all other girls (2) doesn’t compare her with anyone else In effect, it just says that she’s a beautiful girl and i’ve never seen one of those before.

(1) the men converged on the beautiful woman like bees to honey (2) the men converged on the beautiful woman like bees on honey You are correct, beautiful and pretty are used for females and handsome would be equivalent for males A handsome child if the boy is still very young, you could call him cute, which works for both male and female, what a cute little boy/girl, however, the age of the person is relatively important when using the word cute as the meaning changes.
