Questions & Answers about Твоё лицо очень красивое.

Why is there no word for "is" in this sentence?

In Russian, the verb "to be" is skipped in the present tense. Instead of saying "Your face is beautiful," you literally just say "Your face very beautiful."

Why use твоё instead of твой or твоя?

Твоё is the neuter form of "your". It matches the noun лицо (face), which is a neuter noun because it ends in the letter -о.

Why does the adjective красивое end in -ое?

Just like the word for "your" (твоё), the adjective describing the face must also be in the neuter form. For most adjectives, the neuter ending is -ое. If the noun were masculine, it would be красивый, and for feminine, красивая.
