Expectations

                               See the video  How to use "supposed to"





        BE SUPPOSED TO
It has three different meanings:
  • It is  supposed to =  it is said to...
I'm going to buy his book. It's suposed to be very good ( it is said to be very good)
Why hasn't the teacher come to school today? She 
is supposed to be ill (She is said to be ill)
  • Something that is supposed to happen= it is planned , arranged or expected. Often this is different from what really happens
The exam was supposed to start at 10.00 sharp but the teacher was late
I'
m supposed to give a conference in Berlin tomorrow but I think I'm going down with flu.
  • You are not supposed to do something= it is not allowed or advisable for you to do that
She is not supposed to speak Spanish in an English class.
