correct vs right

Both 'correct' and 'right' are commonly used in English, but they have slightly different meanings and contexts. 'Correct' is used to indicate something that is accurate, true, or free from error, while 'right' is used to indicate something that is morally or ethically good, or appropriate. They are not always interchangeable, so it's important to use them in the right context.
