There are different methods of teaching, and different methods of learning. Explaining that your sentence (or question -- whatever it was) is "wrong" is one way -- and can be effective. It forces you to try to figure out what was wrong and correct it. You learn on your own, and might jsut find something else in the book that you didn't know (or "knew" but was wrong).
