what is the different between ' I suppose' and ' some thing supposed to be like this' ?
Top answer
'To suppose' and 'to be supposed to' are two different verbs. org/dictionary/british/supposed_1 Just don't confuse the passive voice of the first with the second one: He is supposed to be at home (by someone) = The person supposes (= thinks) that he is at home He is supposed to be at home by 10 PM = He is required to be at home by that time
