Il verbo inglese "to pretend" è un termine versatile che trova impiego in molte situazioni diverse. La sua definizione principale è quella di fingere o simulare qualcosa, spesso con l'intento di ingannare o creare un'impressione falsa. Quando una persona "pretends", sta cercando di far credere agli altri qualcosa che non è vero, adottando un comportamento, un atteggiamento o una dichiarazione che non corrisponde alla realtà. Il verbo può essere utilizzato sia in contesti positivi che negativi, e può riferirsi a una varietà di azioni, dai giochi di fantasia dei bambini alle manipolazioni più serie degli adulti.
