Click here to see a new video for "(be) supposed to." This is passive and it's a little idiomatic. It expresses obligation and responsibility. What are you supposed to do today? What were you supposed to do yesterday? Pay attention to how the verb "be" changes. You can use this in the present tense and the past tense, but that's about it. �
You can practice using it with a quiz. Click here.

Thanks you Paul for the exercise. The sentences where I didn't have to change the tense of "suppose", I did good. But some of them required to change it to "supposed", that's where I made mistakes. Would it be possible for you to explain where I should put "supposed" instead of "suppose".
Thanks,
Y
Hi Paul,
Sorry, please ignore the above comment. I was wrong/confused and watched the video one more time. It's clear now that we pronounce it "suppose to" but we write "supposed to".
Hope you had a wonderful 4th of July weekend. In my town they do beautiful fireworks every year and we (my neighborhood)can see it clearly from the front yard of our houses.
Thank again for the video,
Y
Hi Y,
Yes, "suppose" uses a "d" ending in the past tense and as a past participle. In those cases, the "s" sounds like a "z." But when "suppose" is used with "to," the final "s" sounds like an s and there is no "d" sound.
