"(be) supposed to" expresses obligation. Someone expects you to do something. It's an unusual form of the passive voice, but it's very important to learn.

  • teacher can you talk little more about this sentence(is it supposed to rain tomorrow).dose it express future.thanks alot to teach us this much.

    and teacher how to use the word "considered" if you add a video about that in the blog of jun that we'll be a great job.

  • @shafishinwari1 -- Yes, you use (be) supposed to talk about the future. For example: She's supposed to meet me later today. / It's supposed to rain tomorrow.  Okay, I'll add "considered" to my list. Good idea.

  • can i use i aint supposed to work today?

  • Yes, it's okay, but "ain't" is considered to be poor English. Many Americans use it.
