常见错误Common mistakes
易错句子I bought a hammer at the ironmonger.正确表达I bought a hammer at the ironmonger's.
ironmonger 指‘五金商’这个人；表示店铺时要用所有格形式 ironmonger's（即 ironmonger's shop 的省略）。少了 's 会变成‘在五金商本人那里’，不符合想表达‘在五金店’的意思。
易错句子There is an ironmonger shop near my home.正确表达There is an ironmonger's shop near my home.
ironmonger 是名词，指人，不能直接放在 shop 前作定语表示‘五金店’；应使用所有格 ironmonger's shop，或用 hardware shop。原句把名词当形容词用，是中式英语。

发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Words built with -monger (monger, fishmonger, warmonger, rumormonger) all rhyme with the final part of ironmonger: /ˌmʌŋɡər/. Hunger also rhymes because it shares the stressed sound /ʌŋɡər/. Beware longer: it ends in -nger but has a different vowel (/ɔː/ in US, /ɒ/ in UK), so it does not rhyme.
