A: I said I had to go to a wedding reception the week after.

B: Oh. I must have remembered wrongly then.

Is what B said natural and correct?


Thank you

As a sentence, yes.

I can't see the sense as a reply to the first sentence though. I guess you need a bit more context. What is B remembering wrongly?

Thanks for replying, Nona the brit.

I wanted B to remember incorrectly when the wedding reception is. A tells B what A actually said to B sometime ago. Which was the actual date the wedding reception is on.

Does this make sense? Should I alter my dialogue?

Thank you
