常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Confectionery"?Which "Confectionery" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I bought some confectionery for the party.
✓I bought some confectionery for the party.
This is grammatically correct. The common mistake is using 'confectionery' as a countable noun for individual sweets. 'Confectionery' is an uncountable noun referring to sweets/chocolates as a category or the business of making them.
×She works in a confectionery.
✓She works in a confectionery factory / shop / business.
'Confectionery' alone is not typically used to mean a physical shop or factory. It needs a clarifying noun like 'shop', 'factory', or 'business' to specify the type of place.
×This cake is a delicious confectionery.
✓This cake is a delicious confection.
A single prepared sweet item (like a cake, pastry, or elaborate dessert) is usually called a 'confection'. 'Confectionery' refers to the collective category or the industry.
×I love French confectionery.
✓I love French confectionery. / I love French pastries and sweets.
This is correct. The potential mistake is learners not knowing that 'confectionery' is a formal/collective term. In everyday speech, people more often say 'sweets', 'candy', 'chocolates', or 'pastries' depending on the specific type.
×We studied the confectionery of the product.
✓We studied the composition / formulation of the product.
'Confectionery' is not a synonym for 'composition' or 'making'. It specifically refers to the art/business of making sweets or the sweets themselves. Using it for non-sweet items is incorrect.
