Would you agree with me if I said that the following sentence has something wrong
Here is the sentence
It seems that a king's life is quite hard, but a pretend king's life is even harder
2
I think "pretend" can't be used as a noun, can it? - And it isn't even followed by of, for example
3
Can "pretend" be used as an adjective? - I looked up many sources and all I got was that it is only a verb
4
pretended is the adjective
5
This sentence is on page 35, Chapter 4 in the last paragraph
6
There is another sentence on page 41 with the same word. This means that it is NOT wrong . And if it isn't wrong, then what's the explanation
Here is the second sentence
I spoke to him in English with a pretend foreign accent

Mr Mohsen, have you checked Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary?, It says, one can use pretend as an adjective in informal speech to mean imaginary, but it must be used before a noun. I hope my reply satisfies you, and honestly, I like the way you study the text,... best of luck, thank you for making us develop our language through searching, that's really gr8
