was right

Got it correct

Was right indicates that someone's judgment, prediction, or belief proved correct: You were right about him—he did quit.

Often used when events confirm what someone said earlier: She was right all along.

The phrase carries a note of vindication, sometimes grudging: I hate to admit it, but you were right.
