“be supposed to do”常用来表示某人应该或被认为应该做某事。
1)肯定句结构:be supposed to do sth.
例句:Students are supposed to arrive at school on time. 学生应该按时到校。
2)否定句结构:be not supposed to do sth.

3)一般疑问句结构:Be+主语+be supposed to do sth.?
例句:Is he supposed to clean the blackboard after class?他应该在课后擦黑板吗?
2.基本用法
1)当主语是人时,“be supposed to do”常表示建议或劝告。
例句:Students are supposed to balance their study and leisure time effectively. 学生应该有效地平衡学习和休闲时间。
2)当主语是物或事时,它可以表示某事或物本应发生却未发生的情况,带有一定的责备意味。
例句:The new software was supposed to improve efficiency, yet it caused more problems than it solved. 这款新软件本应提高效率,但它带来的问题比解决的问题还要多。
3)完成时态的应用
我们还需要注意,“be supposed to have done”这一结构,它等同于“should have done”,用来表示“本该做某事而没做”,带有责备或遗憾的意味。
例句:You are supposed to have studied for the test, but you didn't. 你本该为考试复习的,但你没有。
3.suppose的用法
1)“suppose”后跟that从句或复合宾语
- “suppose”后面可以直接跟一个“that”引导的从句,表达某个假设或猜测。
例句:I suppose that the movie will be interesting. 我猜这部电影会很有趣。
- “suppose”还可以接复合宾语,即“suppose sb./sth. to be/do sth.”,用于表达对某人或某事的看法或猜测。
例句:We suppose the book to be very informative. 我们认为这本书很有教育意义。
2) “suppose”后接否定的宾语从句时,否定转移
值得注意的是,当“suppose”后面跟一个否定的宾语从句时,我们通常会将否定词放在主句,而不是直接放在从句中。这种语法现象叫做“否定转移”。
例句:I don't suppose that she will refuse to help us. 我想她不会拒绝帮助我们的。
