这不能说明他错了 (This cannot prove he was wrong)
Grammar & Usage
How it works
This is a declarative sentence asserting that a particular fact or situation (represented by '这' - this) does not suffice to prove someone's mistake. The structure is '这 (subject) + 不能 (modal verb 'cannot') + 说明 (verb 'explain/prove') + 他错了 (object clause 'he was wrong').' '错了' combines the verb '错' (to be wrong) with the perfective aspect particle '了'.
