What's the difference between Attributive and Adjective?

Q1) What is Attributive? Please give me some example.
Q2) Are Attributive and Adjective equal? Please give me some example.

E.g. She is a beautiful girl.

Is "A beautiful girl" Attributive? And what's the difference between Adjective in above sentence?

Thank you very much.

" "Beautiful" is called an attributive adjective because it is IN FRONT OF the noun. If you say, "She is beautiful," then it is called a predicate adjective because it's part of the predicate ("predicate" = the verb and all the words after the verb).
