To be supposed to
2008-09-28 @ 23:23:55
You're supposed to be at home at 9 p.m. means: I expect you to be back(or: will be back) at 9 pm.

But:

I suppose you will go to church tomorrow. means: I assume you will go to church tomorrow.

Both sentences deal with future.

I suppose it's hard to learn another language means: I assume it's hard to learn another language.

This was said in present tense. Finally:

You were supposed to be at home at 9 p.m.

refers to the past.

Most of what I've written comes from this page. If anyone wants to you could do a test. 'Your score is 8 / 8'. Nice :)
