Häufiger Fehler:
Learners sometimes say *"He is a dishonest"* without a noun. In English, you must say *"He is dishonest"* or *"He is a dishonest person"*. Another mistake is using *dishonest* when someone is only wrong, not lying; if there is no intention to lie or cheat, *mistaken* or *wrong* is better than *dishonest*.
