suppose
國中國一上/səˈpoʊz/
v.猜想
to think likely
什麼時候用
suppose 是「假定、認為」。真正要記的是 be supposed to：那是「照規定應該」，不是「猜想」，而且否定形 not supposed to 有「不准」的意味。
常見錯誤
- be supposed to 的 supposed 一定要有 d，口語聽不出來但寫作會被扣分。
- 「我猜不是」英文習慣把否定移到前面：I don't suppose so，而不是 I suppose not so。
- suppose 後面接 that 子句，不接不定詞：I suppose that he is right。
常見搭配
- be supposed to
- suppose that
- I suppose so
例句
I suppose so.
我猜是吧。
You are supposed to hand it in by Friday.
你應該在週五前交出來。
I suppose she forgot.
我想她大概忘了。
自己試試看
We are ___ to wear a uniform on Mondays.
我們星期一應該穿制服。
