Grammar #17: Be supposed to (due Sunday)

(Be) supposed to means the same as (be) expected to, both of which are passive. This means that somebody else is supposing or expecting something.

Some expectations for our class:
1. Students are supposed to come on time. In other words, students are expected to come on time.
Who expects that? The teacher. The school. The administration. The HCC culture.

2. Students are supposed to pay attention in class. In other words, students are expected to pay attention in class.
Who expects that? The teacher. The school. The other students. Everybody.

3. Students are NOT supposed to sleep in class. In other words, students are expected to stay awake in class. TAN, ANH, TOYE, GHAITH, ETC...
Who expects that? I think you know the answer to this question.

4. Students are supposed to do their own work on exams. In other words students are NOT supposed to cheat.
Who expects that? I think you know the answer to this question.

5. Students are supposed to speak English in class. In other words, students are NOT supposed to speak other languages. ROSAIDA, XIMENA, ITZEL, GUSTAVO...

If you understand this lesson, then tell me three more expectations that either the teacher or the students are supposed to meet in class.

If you do not understand this lesson, write "I do not understand this lesson."

  2. 1. The students are supposed to do their homework.
    2. The students are supposed to check the Blog constantly.
    3. The students are supposed to meet with their essays.


    P.S.
    I know that Latin people are very noisy and that is a big problem in class, because whenever we speak in our language the whole room hear us, so i will change some "things" to improve the environment in the classroom, avoid talking in my language and pay more attention. I promise :)
