customary vs traditional
「customary」側重於習慣性的行為或做法，而「traditional」強調代代相傳的歷史與文化傳承。
customary vs habitual
「customary」描述社會或群體的慣例，而「habitual」強調個人因重複而形成的、近乎自動的習慣。

×It is customary to do something.
✓It is customary to do something.
雖然這個句子本身是正確的，但學習者常誤以為 'customary' 只能用在 'It is customary...' 的句型中。實際上，'customary' 作為形容詞，用法非常靈活，可以放在名詞前或與其他動詞搭配。
×It's my customary to drink coffee in the morning.
✓It's my custom to drink coffee in the morning. / Drinking coffee in the morning is customary for me.
'Customary' 是形容詞，意思是「慣常的、習俗的」，用來描述事物或行為。'Custom' 才是名詞，意思是「習慣、習俗」。這裡混淆了詞性。想表達「我的習慣」時，應該用名詞 'custom' 或換個說法。
×She gave me a customary smile.
✓She gave me her customary smile.
當 'customary' 用來描述某人「一貫的、特有的」行為、表情或特質時，通常會與所有格代名詞（如 his, her, their）或 'the' 連用，以強調這是該人物特有的習慣。單用 'a' 會削弱這種「個人慣常」的意味。
×This is not customary in my country.
✓This is not customary in my country. / This is not the custom in my country.
這個句子本身文法正確，但學習者常過度使用 'customary' 來描述任何個人習慣或頻繁發生的事。'Customary' 更強調的是基於傳統、社會規範或正式慣例的行為，而不僅僅是個人重複的動作。對於單純的個人習慣，用 'usual', 'habitual' 或 'typical' 可能更貼切。
×He did it in a customary way.
✓He did it in the customary way. / He did it in his customary way.
當指涉一個「眾所周知的、既定的」慣常方式或方法時，通常使用定冠詞 'the'，因為這個方式是特定且被認可的。如果強調是「他個人一貫的」方式，則用 'his customary way'。使用不定冠詞 'a' 聽起來不自然，彷彿還有其他多種「慣常方式」可供選擇，這與 'customary' 內含的「既定、標準」之意有所矛盾。
