paper, pens, and related supplies
Paper, envelopes, pens, and similar things that you use for writing or in an office.
Schéma d’usage :
to buy [stationery] for [a place or purpose]
Erreur fréquente :
Learners often confuse "stationery" (paper, pens, etc.) with "stationary" (not moving). Another common mistake is trying to make it countable, for example saying *"a stationery" or "stationeries"*. "Stationery" is usually an uncountable noun in modern English, so you say "some stationery" or "pieces of stationery" instead.
