Which sentence correctly uses ‘stationery’ to refer to writing and office supplies?
AHe bought some new stationary for his office.
BHe bought some new stationery for his office.
CHe bought a new stationary for his office.
DHe bought some new stationeries for his office.
Explanation
‘Stationery,’ spelled with an ‘e’ before the ‘r,’ refers to writing materials and office supplies, while ‘stationary,’ spelled with an ‘a,’ is an adjective meaning not moving. Since this sentence describes office supplies, ‘stationery’ is correct, and because it is an uncountable noun, it is not used with the article ‘a’ or given a plural form.
