| 'To be honest' is a set phrase meaning 'to tell you the truth' and is used to introduce an admission or confession. |

open is more like thinking outside from the common thought
over is beyond the limit
honest is a self attitude
correct is change the wrong one into the right one
Correct me if I am wrong. By the way, i have a question, why we cannot use open? it's quite common in daily usage.
Thank you |

Hi Torsten,
I have just done the test, there are only 4 correct sentences. It's so bad so I have to try to do your lessons frequently.
Thank you so much.
