The positive degree is used to refer to one object, person, or place without making any comparison.

She has a big house.

The comparative degree refers to a greater degree of adjective as compared to the positive degree.

It is used to compare two objects, people, or places.

Her house is bigger than my house.

The superlative degree refers to the greatest degree of adjective.

It is used to compare more than two objects, people, or places.

Her house is the biggest of all.

We add – er and –est to most one or two syllable words that end in consonants.
