2) well, in my opinion, “pretend” is want to happen something in special for example i pretend that i can finish my college, and "expect" it is a synonymous of wait
“Lonely” is a person who always likes to stay without anyone, and “alone” can be a action in the moment, for example, now, I am alone.
Well, "grief" can be used when anyone lost a family member, and this person are doing the grief , and "lament" is can be used when a football team lost a match , the next match can win
"conceal" when i can't conceal my sad when i disapprove a exam, and "hide" is when i don´t want that my mother see that I broke her plant
"gay" is a person who in their life is happy , and "cheerful" is a person that all time it is smilingly and sympathetic
3 I prefer the first version because it is interpreted by the band "queen " , who is a excellent band and the singer is freddy mercury , who is one of the best artist of the music. I don´t know who are the people who sing in the second version.
Federico,
Delete2) pretend=simulate
expect (esperar /pretender)
“Lonely” is a person who always likes to stay without anyone (NOT EXACTLY) SOME PEOPLE FEEL LONELY AND THEY DON´T WANT TO, and “alone” can be aN action ....IN FACT WHEN YOU ARE ALONE THERE´S NOBODY WITH YOU.
Well, "grief" can be used when SOMEone losES a family member, and this person FEELS grief
"conceal" when I can't conceal my sadNESS when I FAIL aN exam, and "hide" is when I don´t want my mother TO see that I DESTROYED her plant
"gay" is a person who is happy , and "cheerful" is a person that all THE time is smiling
sympathetic (CHECK MEANING)

I am lonely but no one can tell
Oh yes I am the great pretender
Adrift in a world of my own
I play the game but to my real shame
You've left me to dream all alone
Too real is this feeling of make believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal
Ooh Ooh yes I am the great pretender
Just laughing and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I am not (you see)
I am wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you are still around

2- Can you explain the difference between:
a) pretend - expect : Pretend is to act so as to make it appear that something is the case when in fact it is not and expect is to regard as likely to happen, do, or be the case.
b) lonely - alone ? Lonely is being sad because one has no friends or someone to be with and being alone is by oneself.
c) grieve - lament ? Grieve is to suffer grief and Lament is a passionate expression of grief.
d) hide - conceal ? Hide is to put or keep out of sight and Conceal is not allowed to be seen.
e) cheerful- gay ? Both are used to describe a person who's happy.

cheerful is to feel happiness, gay i didn't know the meaning but of what i could read in the other comments is something similar.

A-I think that the differen between them is that you pretend to do something and you expetc something from other person.
B-if you are alone there is no people arround you but if you are lonely that is because of your caracter or because you have problems with other people.
C- well I have to google the words because I have never listened before. I think that the differrence its that grive is use when you are sad because a member of your family died for example and lament is when you are sad because you do somenthing wrong.
D- I think that there are sinonims.
E- cheerful is an emotional caracteristic and gay its a person who likes people of the same gender.
3- Well the second its good but I prefer the firt because I like queen. Specially I love the chorus of some of their songs like rapsodia bohemia.

2)
a) Pretend is when a person simulates. Expect, is when a person hopes something.
b) I can´t describe the difference, but I think a person is alone when he/she isn´t with other people and a person feels lonely when is without people. (Alone is a adjective and lonely is a substantive to describes a feeling in this case).
c) A person grieve when is sad. A person laments when a bad thing happens.
d) Hide, is when a person/feeling/thing is occulted. But conceal is when a person pretends to be other person (because he/she hide his/her real feelings).
e) A person is cheerful when she/he is happy; but a person is gay when he/she likes people from his/her same gender.
3) The two versions are excellent, Freddy was one of the best singers, but I prefer the second version because is more cheerful, the singers smile meanwhile sings.

2. Differences
a. Pretend is when you want something to happen. You pretend something because you want this to happen. Expect is when you wait for something. You've got the hope that it'll happen.
b. Lonely is a feature of the person who always seems to be alone. Alone is when you are not in compañy. You can be with people, or you can be alone (without people).
c. grieve is be sad. You grieve when you're sad, sorry, unhappy. Lament is when you're bad for something ugly or sad that just happened.
d. hide is occult something. You can hide yourself, or something you want. Conceal is when you cover yourself. You dissimulate, and pretend to be an other person.
e. Cheerful is the person who is totally happy. Gay, is the person who likes the same sex.
3. I like both, but i prefer the version of Freddy Mercury, because in my opinion, he's the best singer ever. I never heard a voice like his. I like every song he wrote and sing.
