Sık yapılan hata:
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).
