Grammar Note
可数名词
Pronunciation & Spelling
These words share chunks with songwriter: writer, copywriter, and screenwriter all end in -writer /raɪtɚ/ and rhyme with the second half of songwriter. songbird and songbook begin with the same /sɔŋ/ sound as songwriter, but their endings are unrelated. Beware songwriting: it shares the spelling chunk song and the early part of writer, but its final syllable is /raɪtɪŋ/, not /raɪtɚ/, so it does not rhyme with songwriter.
