2. USES:
a) It is used for actions that were so planned, they are supposed to do,
or that one should fulfill obligations.
You were supposed to be here at 9:00 am!!
b) Sometimes, the supposed use indicates that these plans or not
fulfilled obligations finally:
The train was supposed to arrive at 5 o'clock. (but it arrived at 8 o'clock)
c) On the contrary, negative, no means supposed ban convenience or
do something:
You are not supposed to smoke here. (you are not allowed to smoke
here)
3. 'Suppose' can also be used as a conjunction to mean 'what if'.
Notice that the verb which follows it is sometimes, but not always,
put 'more in the past'.
Examples:
Suppose we take the earlier train to Munich? It would give us more
time there.
Suppose we took the plane instead? That would give us even more
time.
There's nobody in reception to let our visitors in. Suppose I sit there
until somebody comes?
4. Learn to distinguish between "hope, expect and wish" in Spanish is
difficult because we have only one word for all three: "wait."
To learn well the differences, let us imagine that "hope, expect and
wish" are on three levels.
1) First level "hope"
"Hope" is the sky (about God, for example for the believers). It is
hope. It relates to the emotional side of the person.
Examples:
In Spanish we say: "I hope everything goes well" is the hope, what you want.
In English we say: "I hope everything turns out fine."
Tip: To make you easier to remember the meaning of "hope" thinks it's a "want".
5. 2) Second level "expect"
"Expect", however, is between heaven and earth, somewhere in
between. It is mental (not emotional) and is associated with
more immediate reality.
I expect him to come at 5 o'clock.
There is "hope", is somewhat predictable and real.
Tip: To make you easier to remember the meaning of "expect"
thinks is a reasonable expectation that something will happen
or not happen.
6. 3) Third level “wish”
Wish is most commonly used in hypothetical (or imagined)
situations:
I wish I had a dog. (I really do not I have a dog, but if I did, I
would be happy.)
We wish you a "Merry Christmas."
They wished him "Happy Birthday".
Wish me luck.
