3.3.- Comparative and Superlative Adjectives

Emma's shopping experience

Emma wandered through the bustling mall, comparing stores. She found a pair of shoes in a second-hand store that were cheaper than the ones in a boutique but they were worse than the high-quality brands. A few shops further than her current spot, she spotted a pair that looked nicer than anything else she had seen.

 

However, they were more expensive than her budget allowed. After some thought, she realized that investing in something better than the cheap options was worth it. She left with the nicest shoes, feeling satisfied that quality was more convenient than constantly replacing the cheaper pairs that never lasted.

A few shops further than her current spot, she spotted a pair that looked nicer than anything else she had seen. = A few shops not as close as her current spot, she spotted a pair that looked nicer than anything else she had seen.

Cancun Shopping Experience

Shopping in Cancun is a vibrant experience, offering something for everyone. For those in search of the most fashionable items, the boutiques in the Hotel Zone are a must-visit, showcasing the latest styles and trends.

 

If luxury is what you desire, head to the most expensive shops in upscale malls like La Isla which is the biggest mall in the Hotel Zone. Here, designer brands await, ensuring a lavish shopping spree that’s sure to impress.

 

For a more unique experience, local markets offer the most interesting souvenirs, with handcrafted items that capture the essence of Mexican culture. While you can find great deals, be cautious of the worst prices that sometimes lurk in tourist traps.
