This construction is about relations of causality between two facts, construed in a very broad sense. It can be about people making arrangements for something to happen (arrange, see), rules or laws allowing or requiring some state of affairs (provide, dictate), facts being dependent on other facts (require, presuppose), or situations determining the future (ensure, mean). Pretend is included in this construction because its meaning is considered similar: with this verb, an agent acts in such a way as to make others believe that a certain state of affairs is true, instead of actually causing it to be true.
