How to use "Fake" in context?
Most of us have heard the term "fake" before. It's used to describe something that is not true or is inferior in quality. Sometimes, when we encounter something that seems fake, we may be able to identify its flaws.
However, there are times when the term "fake" can be used in a more subtle way. For example, we might use the term to describe a person or thing that seems to be perfect but is, in fact, fake.
Fake can also be used to describe something that is made to look like it is something it is not.
