Misused Entry 341 / 1011 60-second read

Suppose To vs. Supposed To

The 'd' in supposed is silent, so many people forget to write it.

The comparisoni

✗ Wrong

You suppose to be here by 5pm.

✓ Correct

You're supposed to be here by 5pm.

The ruleii

SUPPOSED TO = has the 'd' even though you don't hear it.

We don't pronounce the 'd', so people think it's not there.

Memory aidiii

Remember it like this

Think 'suppose' + 'ed' = supposed. The 'ed' just doesn't sound.
