Veelgemaakte fout:
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.
