"Feign" means "to pretend" or "represent fictitiously." Considering it's both a transitive and intransitive verb, it can be used in a couple different ways in a sentence. You could say, "She feigned illness to skip school" or "She's feigning; she isn't really ill." In the first example, "feigned" is transitive, meaning the verb has an object--it's directing its action to or for someone or something. Ask yourself, "Whom or what did she feign?" The answer is "illness." In the second example, "feigning" is intransitive--it does not have an object. To sum up, you can use "feign" in a couple different ways.
