'Oh sorry, I must have heard wrong'

Hi all

Just wondering, is it right that 'I must have heard wrong' means that you thought someone said one thing when in actual fact they said something else?

If so, could you please tell me how else you would express this idea?

Thank you

Yes, that's what it means, and that is a common way to say that. You can also say. ' I must have (misheard you / misunderstood what you said) ' .

It also probably can be explained as folows:

It was wrongly heard can also mean that the other person had not said anything in the given context at all.
