1. 美 (měi) can be used as an adjective to describe something as beautiful or very satisfactory. For example, 美梦 sweet dream, beautiful dream
2. 美 (měi) can also be used as a verb to express pleasure or satisfaction with oneself. For example, 老师夸了她几句，她美得不得了。 Just a few remarks of praise from the teacher pleased her so much that she forgot herself.

好看 vs 美:
When 好看 and 美 are both adjectives, what are their differences?
1. 好看 is used to modify something that's visible to one's eyes, e.g. person's appearance, clothes, flowers, etc. It can means "nice", describing something that one can read or watch, e.g. books, movies, stage shows, performances, etc.
- 这本书挺好看的。 This book is quite a good read.
2. 美, when it means "beautiful", it can be used to modify both nouns that are visible to one's eyes, and abstract nouns such as someone's soul, mind, dream, etc.
- 心灵美 beauty of mind
- 美梦 sweet dream, beautiful dream
