El verbo "pretend" en inglés es utilizado comúnmente para expresar la acción de hacer como si algo fuera cierto cuando en realidad no lo es, es decir, simular o fingir. Este verbo abarca situaciones en las que una persona actúa de manera deliberada como si estuviera experimentando un sentimiento, poseyendo un objeto, o viviendo una situación que en verdad no es real.
