Veelgemaakte fout:
Learners often confuse 'stationary' (not moving) with 'stationery' (paper, pens, etc.) because they sound the same. Another mistake is using 'stationary' as a noun (*I bought a stationary*), which is wrong; it is an adjective and must describe a noun (*a stationary car*). Learners also sometimes overuse 'stationary' where simple 'still' sounds more natural in everyday speech (e.g. *I am still* instead of *I am stationary*).
