Dear Precious Jones The word "we're" is short for "we are". So your question becomes - what's the difference between.. (1) We are supposed to get lunch this week (2) We were supposed to get lunch this week The first is in the present, so it means "We are expecting to get lunch - and hopefully we will" The second is in the past, so it means "We thought we would get lunch - but now it looks like we won't" Best regards, Dave
