To express that someone is ill using 生病 (shēng bìng), you can say something like:

他生病了 (tā shēng bìng le) - He is ill.

生病 (shēng bìng) is the verb form of the adjective 病 (bìng), which means "sick". It is used to express that someone is ill or has become ill. It is not used to express that someone is healthy. To express that someone is healthy, you can use 健康 (jiàn kāng), which means "healthy".
