Explanation
Pretty is used to describe someone or something that looks nice, attractive, or pleasing. It is often used for people, animals, or objects. For example, a flower, a painting, or a child can be pretty. Pretty can also be used in a casual way to mean fairly or a little, not completely. For example, “pretty good” means good, but not perfect or excellent. It is a simple word to show something looks or feels pleasant.
