よくある間違い：
Learners often use *wrong* instead of *untrue* for statements or facts. *Wrong* is possible but usually sounds more casual or emotional (e.g., "That’s wrong"); *untrue* is more factual or careful, especially in news or formal speech. Another mistake is using *untruth* when they simply mean *untrue*; *untruth* is a noun meaning a lie, while *untrue* is an adjective describing a statement.
