For/to, pretend
Hello, everyone!
Please, correct the following sentences. I doubt if they are correct. I’m learning the prepositions TO/FOR, the verb ‘pretend’ and some other things here.
Let’s go to the shop and buy some food for the cat.
Let’s fetch some food for the cat from home. = Let’s go home and bring some food to the cat. (It’s a street cat)
We have some food for you. (you is a cat; for or to?)
The cat is shy. It will eat later, when we go away.
I don’t have anything in my bottle. = I have nothing in my bottle. It’s empty.
He’s pretending to be a shark. = He’s pretending he’s a shark.
She’s pretending she’s carrying a baby in her hands.
She’s pretending to be a baby. That is why she’s crying. She thinks that babies always cry.
Thank you very much for your help!
