Comparison
Hi all,
Help me with following sentence,
"James thinks that Mary is the ___(pretty) girl in the school."
I guess Answer is "most pretty".
Explanation for the answer : I chose "most pretty" because since there are comparing with three or more things and pretty is a two syllable word.
Please say whether I am right or not.

Yes, you need the superlative form here, but we use pretty, prettier, & prettiest. [ More and most are used with words of more than one syllable, unless the final syllable ends in a vowel sound. ]
