made the/a wrong turn
called the/a wrong number
Hello, everyone. According to the Ngram viewer, it seems that "wrong turn" we more use with "a", while "wrong number" with "the". But why? Why is there such a big difference? I thought that generally the adjective "wrong" usually takes "the", so why is it different with "wrong turn"?
