For example,
"Don't make it sound/seem like I am doing something wrong"
Or
"My teacher makes it sound like tomorrow's test will be difficult"
I tried,
"私は悪いことをするように言わないで"
Or
"私は悪いことをすると言わないで"
But the above translation seems more direct as in "don't say that I am doing something wrong" rather than "don't make it seem like".
Can そう be used in any way here?
Don't make it sound/seem like I am doing something wrong"
私は悪いことをするように言わないで
That's basically right except は should be が there and する should probably be している.
私が悪いことをしているように見えるようにしないで。
私は悪いことをすると言わないで
Again you need が in there
私が何か悪いことをしたようにいうのをやめてくれ
or something.
