Introductions
The word 给 (gěi) often acts like the word to in English. We’ve seen it already in the phrase to call someone.
我会给你打电话。
(Wǒ huì gěi nǐ dǎ diànhuà.) Literal: I will make a phone call to you.
Now you can use 给 (gěi) to make introductions!
我给你介绍，这是我最好的朋友。
(Wǒ gěi nǐ jièshào, zhè shì wǒ zuì hǎo de péngyǒu.) Let me introduce you to my best friend. Literal: I (will) introduce (to) you; this is my best friend.
你的朋友很帅，可以给我介绍吗？
(Nǐ de péngyǒu hěn shuài, kěyǐ gěi wǒ jièshào ma?) Your friend is handsome. Can you introduce (him) to me?
不但 (bùdàn, not only) and 而且 (érqiě, but also)
To say someone is not only smart, but also beautiful, we can use 不但 (búdàn, not only) and 而且 (érqiě, but also).

(Tā búdàn cōngmíng, érqiě piàoliang.) She is not only smart, but also beautiful.
