Primary alcohol - OH group is attached to that carbon which is further directly attached to one carbon atom.

Secondary alcohol -OH group is attached to that carbon which is further directly attached to  two other carbon atoms 

Tertiary alcohol - OH group is attached to that carbon which is further directly attached to three other carbon atoms.
