Shakespeare’s Corner p. 47
Guess the Meaning: C
Something that is correct is true and not a lie. But true has another meaning as well: to be loyal and strong of heart. “He is truthful” means he is honest, he doesn’t lie. “She is true” means she is a loyal and strong-hearted person. Untruthful means lying; untrue means disloyal or unfaithful (including in relationship contexts).
Grammar in a Modern Context: Be true to yourself
