Cách sử dụng
The word pretext means an excuse that is given as a reason for doing something or for not doing something. It is often used when someone is hiding their true intentions or wants to avoid the real reason for their actions. For example, if someone says they can't attend a party because they have to work, but it's actually because they don't want to go, then the work excuse is considered a pretext. Another example could be if someone uses a traffic jam as a pretext for being late to a meeting, but they were actually just running late. So, pretext is used when someone is trying to cover up or avoid the true reason for their actions or inactions.
