In a loving, affectionate way
In a warm and loving way, showing that you care a lot about someone or something, even when you only think about them in your mind.
รูปแบบการใช้:
[someone] [verb] fondly at/of/about [someone/something]
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners sometimes write *"with fondly"* instead of using "fondly" as an adverb. Correct: "She remembers him fondly" (not "with fondly"). Another common mistake is confusing "fondly" with the adjective "fond": "He is fond of her" (adjective) vs. "He speaks fondly of her" (adverb).

คำตรงข้าม
