Veja só os três usos importantes de “to be supposed to”

Se você for um intermediate student, provavelmente já deve ter se embananado para traduzir ou mesmo adequar essa expressão numa frase. Não é pra menos, ela tem 3 adaptações possíveis, dependendo do seu contexto. É thread!
Era para

- Era para ela estar aqui para a reunião!
- She was supposed to be here for the meeting!

- Não era para nós comermos antes da vovõ chegar
- We were not supposed to eat before grandma arrives.

- Era para eu ter feito o relatório?
- Was I supposed to do the report?
Dizem que

Para o famoso “hearsay” ou, como a Adele diria, “rumor has it”:

- Dizem que ela comprou uma casa nova.
- She is supposed to have bought a house.

- Dizem que este pub tem cervejas direto da Bélgica
- This restaurant is supposed to have beers from Belgium.
- Dizem que ele tem contas na Suíça
-He is supposed to have banking accounts in Switzerland
Deve (obrigação)

Serve como um substituto do Must, ou mesmo do Have to:

- Eu não devo me meter nessa confusão
- I’m not supposed to get involved in this confusion.
- Você não deve estacionar nessa vaga
- You‘re not supposed to park in this space.

- Ela deve nos levar lá!
- She is supposed to take us there!

Viu como é simples? Agora treine e use!

See you next time!
