get (something) wrong



get (something) wrong

To do, understand, or answer something inaccurately and/or incorrectly. I sure didn't ace the exam, but I hope I didn't get too many wrong. Take your time—you'll just end up making more work for yourself if you get it wrong the first time. That electrician got the wiring wrong, and now nothing in the house will turn on!
