In a lecture theatre where a performance is being given, video-taping is forbidden. Peter has been holding his phone horizontally for better viewing in surfing the net. But the MC mistakenly thinks he is video-taping, and has sent security people to tell him to stop doing so. Could he, in natural English, say?
-The MC is accusing me wrong. I was just surfing the net.
It sounds wrong and unnatural to me. Do you have a verb that could combine wrong, frame, accuse wrong etc.?
". . . is making a false accusation."
It's a rather awkward construction because of the use of "is." It could also be written: "The MC is wrongly accusing me."
@Setanta,
Excellent answer. Thank you.~
