Hello Everyone! Can you explain me how to differenciate in use among "true, correct, and right?

right and correct are very much the same, and almost completely interchangeable. The difference is that right is more confirming that it's positive (it's good), while correct is confirming that it is not negative (no error, see Jane's comment). So, a very small nuance.
(btw, correct and right also share the same original stem from Latin (regere --> correctus, rectus))
For true, see Jane's comment, although 1+1=2 is also true.

true is the real thing, not dummy. and no matter wrong or right, it is just real.
correct is opposite the error, like 1+1=2 is correct.
right include meaning of correct, but it also means justness, droit,equity. And right is more random saying than correct.
