Häufiger Fehler:
Learners often use "wondrous" in everyday speech where native speakers would prefer "wonderful" or "amazing". "Wondrous" sounds poetic or literary and is more common in stories, songs, or formal writing. Also, learners sometimes use it with clearly negative nouns (e.g., *a wondrous problem*), which sounds strange because "wondrous" almost always describes positive or at least awe-inspiring things.

In current English, use "very" or "extremely" instead. Also, learners sometimes confuse this adverbial use with the adjective and write *a wondrously place* instead of *a wondrous place* or *a wondrously beautiful place*.
