b.When we use adjective to compare persons or things, we are said to be using degrees
of comparison - Adjective Degrees of Comparison.

Positive Degree of an adjective is used to describe a single thing or person.

Example:

English is an interesting subject.

Comparative Degree of an adjective is used to compare two person or things with each
other.

Superlative Degree of an adjective is used to compare more than two person or things
with each other.
