The right word
|
Dear colleagues, I need your help.
Some of my students wrote this in their test:
I once did a test on Facebook named "What nationality are you?"
I think the word named cannot be used in this context- I expected the word called. Am I right?
Thank you for your answers.

You are correct. To use named is an often- made mistake.
