• The degree of comparison tells us whether an adjective or an adverb is offering a comparison.
• There are 3 degrees of comparison of adjectives- Positive, Comparative, and Superlative.
• Superlative adjectives are used to describe an object which is at the upper or lower limit of quality (the tallest, the smallest, the fastest, the highest).
• They are used in sentences where a subject is compared to a group of objects.
• In the above-mentioned statement,  we can see that out of all the boys in the class, Ajit is the smartest.
