If I want to say that a person A went to people and said that he is person B... (he uses his name, as well as other his unique) what's the way to refer to it?
He pretends him
or
He pretends to him.
The preposition 'to' is idiomatic in this context?

'He pretends to be him'. If you want a single verb, you can say 'He impersonates him'

Reason: pretend is an intransitive verb; it does not take a direct object. – Mike Harris Jun 21 '20 at 13:01
