In a way that is not right or not correct, often because of a mistake with facts, rules, or form.
Модель употребления:
[someone] does [something] incorrectly
Частая ошибка:
Learners sometimes confuse 'incorrectly' with 'incorrect'. Use 'incorrectly' before verbs to describe actions (e.g., 'He spelled it incorrectly') and 'incorrect' before nouns or after linking verbs to describe things (e.g., 'That answer is incorrect'). Another mistake is overusing 'false' instead of 'incorrectly'; 'false' usually describes statements or information, while 'incorrectly' describes how an action is done.
Синонимы
wrongly (Very close in meaning; slightly more common in everyday speech and can also suggest moral unfairness, which 'incorrectly' usually does not.)
|
inaccurately (Focuses more on lack of exactness or precision, especially with numbers or details; slightly more formal or technical.)
|
mistakenly (Emphasizes that something was done by mistake, not on purpose; a bit more about the cause than the result.)
