Common mistake:
Learners sometimes use *wonderfully* before a noun (e.g., *a wonderfully weather*), but it should usually come before an adjective or another adverb (e.g., *wonderfully warm weather*, *sings wonderfully well*). Another mistake is using *wonderful* instead of *wonderfully* before verbs (e.g., *She sings wonderful* instead of *She sings wonderfully*).
