                  An Adjective comes in three degrees-<\/span><\/p>\n

                  Positive Degree:<\/strong> It is an adjective in its simple form. It tells us the quality of a person or thing without making any comparison.<\/span><\/p>\n

                  Eg: She is a <\/span>nice<\/b> girl.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

                  Comparative Degree:<\/b> It is used when two things or sets of things are compared. It denotes a higher degree of quality than a positive degree.<\/span><\/p>\n

                  Eg: This town is <\/span>smaller<\/b> than Agra.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

                  Eg: She is <\/span>better<\/b> than you.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

                  Superlative Degree:<\/b> It denotes the highest degree of quality and is used when more than two things are compared.<\/span><\/p>\n

                  Eg: This is the <\/span>smallest<\/b> town in the state.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
