Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
If the man says “Behold you are betrothed to me” she is obviously betrothed. Shmuel seems to be teaching us nothing.
The Talmud answers that the second half of each of Shmuel’s statement is what he is teaching us. As stated above, the man must betroth the woman or send her away in divorce. He cannot use language that makes it seem like he is betrothing himself to her or sending himself away from her.
