Degrees of adjectives are the different forms of adjectives that we use when we describe or compare. They show whether we are just telling about one thing, comparing two things, or showing the highest or lowest quality among many.

If we say “The room is dark,” we are simply describing it. This is the Positive Degree.

Finally, if we say “That is the darkest room” we are showing the highest level. This is the Superlative Degree.
