so how do I use the expression be
supposed to do something for example
Jack Michael Jackson you’re supposed to
be dead
no I’m not dead oh um then I’m sorry
don’t be sorry
so be supposed to basically it describes
an expectation now this could be an
obligation or responsibility but mainly
it’s an expectation what people think
should happen or should have happened
for example so you’re walking to work
and your boss expects you to arrive at
nine o’clock but oh
uh-oh I think I’m late it’s 9:30 you’re
late everyone expected me to be at work
at nine o’clock but we’ll use this in a
passive this form will always be in a
passive so it will look like this I
version of B was because it’s past and
it’s me I was supposed to that never
changes I was supposed to the infinitive
be at work at 9:00 three people expected
me at 9:00 o’clock I was supposed to be
at work at 9:00 that’s how you’d say it
so it’s just an expectation
you make a plan to meet your friend at 8
o’clock you both say okay let’s meet at
8 o’clock at the cinema so your friend
is at the cinema at 8 o’clock your
friend arrives at the cinema it’s 8
o’clock she’s thinking 8 o’clock we have
a plan my friend will arrive now and of
course you’re a bad friend you arrive
late
remember your plan was to meet at 8:00
not 8:30 she was expecting to meet at 8
o’clock so how can she say that the
expectation was to meet at 8 o’clock we
it’s a past version of B we were
remember that never changes we were
supposed to what’s the verb meets does
it change no infinitive means the verb
doesn’t change we were supposed to meet
at 8 we were supposed to meet at 8 bad
friend so again just remember that B
supposed to it’s just your expectation
would you expect to happen what do you
expect to have happened like in this
case another example
you look at the weather on your phone
and you see our today I’m expecting a
sunny day so it present it is supposed
to sunny that’s an adjective so the verb
is B it’s supposed to be sunny now if
you’re in London and it’s supposed to be
sunny usually this happens you just go
outside your house and then so now this
is a past expectation it’s raining but I
wasn’t expecting rain so come on it was
supposed to be sunny today
what the hell England it was supposed to
be sunny my expectation sunny so this is
a positive sentence but how about
negative let’s say the same thing in a
negative way okay we need to make it
opposite where does the negative go goes
there
that’s our negative now we need to
change this to mean the same thing
remember it was raining but he wasn’t
expecting rain so it wasn’t supposed to
be rainy or rainy your two options
really so you could say it wasn’t
supposed to be rainy today it wasn’t
supposed to be raining hmm so you think
you understand be supposed to now you
understand nothing John Snow
because that’s not the only way we can
use be supposed to not just for
expectation it can be for an obligation
but in a polite way let me give you an
example
so in this case it shows an obligation
or a rule but said in a maybe soft
polite way so for example he wants to
say I’m like you mustn’t smoke in here
but to say a bit soft a bit polite
everyone knows that me don’t do this
thing he would say this way he would say
you aren’t remember are that’s the
version of be for you you aren’t
supposed to remember never changes
smoke the infinitive doesn’t change in
here you aren’t supposed to smoke in
here we’ve learnt a different meaning
it’s an obligation you aren’t supposed
to smoke in here but listen to how I’m
saying it supposed to you can hear it in
two ways
supposed to that’s the normal way but in
casual conversation people talk quickly
so they pronounce it like supposed to
supposed to like that you isn’t there
Spur supposed to sounds like this
supposed to you aren’t supposed to smoke
in here and again you can hear it both
ways depends how fast the person is
speaking let’s imagine you’re with your
friends and there’s a secret someone has
a secret so he wants to say okay I have
a secret I have an obligation not to
tell you but you’re my best friend so I
will what do you think he’s going to say
I have an obligation not to tell you so
it’s a negative this
I’m not supposed to tell you so they
have two meanings of being supposed to
do something it’s mainly an expectation
which could be an obligation people
expect you not to do something and
lastly just to remember this is always
impassive be supposed to you’d never say
I don’t suppose to do something no it’s
always I’m not supposed to do something
also never in ing form never in
continuous form so if you liked that
