Expert Solution
Step 1

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.

Ether = R-O-R/R' 

Ester = RCOOR'
