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 :)

He had luck but next time it may fall short

I didn't show it so fast though. Firstly, I wanted him to know what's not permissible. And I think he understood...
We are not to be only passionate. We are to be much more or not to be at all...
And then we started to exist again.

One thing's sure. When a boy gives you flowers it MUST MEAN SOMETHING. Especially long red rose! In most cases it's a form of apologising, right girls?

He was charming and tender as usually. What did I expect? Now he's delighted but I won't long for him just like I didn't before. I don't know if I didn't do what I did(yeah, that's my gift for writing. No comment, please! ;P) only because I sympathised with him.

I detest not understanding me myself so much. Enigma of mine... and the next is:
How should we use 'supposed to be'?

And hey, am I the only one who sees wrong articles here:

'A old lady'? 'A oni'? I heard they did't speak English very well in Japan but... what the hell?

There's something that makes me a little depressed but I'm just gonna screw it up and then forget or come back to it later.

And by the way, if anyone's interested, THIS is one of the reasons for which I'm against Islam.


'With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
But there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind'

Placebo 'Where is my mind'

So no one knows the answer for the prevoius question? That's too bad.

My best friend bought a motorbike! Next person... and I still have none... It's all anly because of my studies. I hate it! And when I finish it I don't know if I will have enough time, money and energy to get one... Ugh! Maybe next year(yeah, right)...

My boyfriend drives me crazy. He's jealous of evry friend of mine I mean every male friend. Two minutes ago he started a fight again... and I only said 'bye' to him. I feel he cares way too much about me... It's tiring.

And I think I just broke up with him.
A question about sequence of tenses(czyli następstwo czasów)

You have a basic sentence 'She was a beautiful lady' and you start changing it.

'Cindy was a beautifil lady' said the photographer.
The photographer said Cindy was a beautiful lady.
Jill heard the photographer had said Cindy ... a beautiful lady.

The obvious problem is about a word(or words) to put in the place of dots. Should it be said in Past Perfect as well as the prevoius part of the sentence(then: '...Cindy had been a beautiful lady') or is there some other counstruction to use? Because the first option would destroy the sense(that she 'was', not 'is' beautiful). I'm not asking about paraphrases.

(I know that's not a perfect example, most people would probably say 'Jill heard the director said...' and there would be no problem but I'm asking in general)
