常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Fake"?Which "Fake" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He faked to be sick.
✓He faked being sick. / He pretended to be sick.
The verb 'fake' is not typically followed by an infinitive ('to be'). It is more natural to use a gerund ('being') or to use the verb 'pretend' with an infinitive.
×I can fake his signature.
✓I can forge his signature.
While 'fake' is a general term for making something false, the specific verb for imitating a signature, document, or work of art to deceive is usually 'forge'. Using 'fake' here is understandable but not the most precise or common collocation.
×She faked that she was rich.
✓She pretended that she was rich. / She faked being rich.
The verb 'fake' is less commonly used with a 'that'-clause. It is more idiomatic to use 'pretend' with a 'that'-clause or to use 'fake' with a noun or gerund phrase.
×He is faking. (when context is unclear)
✓He is faking it. / He is pretending.
Using 'fake' as an intransitive verb without an object can sound incomplete. Adding 'it' as a dummy object makes the statement more natural and complete, or use the more general verb 'pretend'.
×This product is faked.
✓This product is fake. / This product is counterfeit.
The adjective form 'fake' is used to describe the nature of the product itself. The past participle 'faked' is more often used for actions (e.g., 'The results were faked'). For manufactured imitation goods, 'counterfeit' is a more precise adjective.
