with strong, sincere passion or belief
In a very strong and sincere way, showing deep feeling or belief.
Schéma d’usage :
[someone] [verb] fervently
Erreur fréquente :
Learners sometimes confuse "fervently" with "frequently" because they look similar, but "fervently" describes strong feeling, while "frequently" means something happens often. Another mistake is using it in very casual contexts where "really" or "very much" would sound more natural in everyday speech.
