Great job!! I wish in the Universidad they didn’t teach us “ir a” before teaching the regular future. I would rather use the real future tense, the “ir a” seems like a crutch even if it is correct. 🤔

[@anytimeespanol]

@JuanMoreno-wo5yb I know what you mean, and I agree, but the ir + a is used all the time in Latin America, so it is really important as well 👍 I had terrible Spanish teachers in school and didn't learn much 😒

Hola los profesores muchísimas gracias por ese curso yo entendí perfectamente ejemplo presente tense tengo que irme al trabajo ahora porque se supone que yo llego a las siete am

[@anytimeespanol]

Gracias por escribir tu comentario. Y que bueno que practiques la lección "se supone" Muy bien por tu ejemplo en tiempo presente. Para sonar más nativo puedes decir "yo entro a las siente am"

I’ve also learned “se supone que debo llegar a las 6” for present and “se suponía que debía llegar a las 6.” For past. Are both the options you’ve taught and these commonly accepted?

[@anytimeespanol]

Exactly! You're absolutely correct to use those 2 examples and they're common used as well 🙌🏻👍🏻

[@greadore]

Good video. I have a question for you. For example, you say that to say “I am supposed to arrive at 6 pm” is “Se supone que yo llego a las 6 pm”. I watched a video of a Spanish teacher from Colombia say that to say this one would need to say “Se supone que debo llegar a las 6 pm”. Are both of these options valid? Is the one using “deber” more common in Colombia perhaps than Mexico? Muchas gracias!

[@anytimeespanol]

Thanks for the comment. It "could" absolutely be that colombians use deber in this construction more often than in Mexico, I can't speak on that for sure, but for me, both are valid. Deber only adds the idea of "something that you must do". They both seem correct. Hopefully that helps 🙌👍

[@BGM16]

Both are correct, regardless of the country.

[@greadore]

@@BGM16 Thanks!

[@elsomnoliento]

@@anytimeespanol Hello, for me it seems like without the deber it is more of expectation but with deber it seems more of obligation pero both are correct sorry for my english

[@anytimeespanol]

@elsomnoliento I understand what you mean but both are correct. Suponer is considered a truth in Spanish like pensar or creer

[@ruthruth7125]

Why does ‘deber’ appear in some phrases and not in others ?

[@anytimeespanol]

Deber is frequently used with se supone que because it can mean you must do something, but it's not a rule nor mandatory to use it with se supone que. 🙂👍🏻

[@liamflanagan7490]

So it's kinda like if we were to say in english "One supposes that" to say "supposed to". "One supposes that you will eat at 2 today"/"You're supposed to eat at 2 today" "Se supone que tu comeras a las 2 hoy"? Edit: So would it also be right to say "Se supone que tu vas a comer a las 2 hoy"?

[@BGM16]

Yes, it is correct too.

[@anytimeespanol]

@liamflanagan7490 yes yes and yes! That's exactly right. Remember it's best to try to speak without translating directly but to understand the rule, you got it! You're supposed to eat at 2 today. Se supone que comerás a las 2 hoy. Se supone que vas a comer a las 2 hoy. Both are correct! 😎🙌👍

[@liamflanagan7490]

@@anytimeespanol Thanks! Your video was very helpful! I really appreciate the depth you both go into during the explanation :)

[@jimmymerilas]

Imperfect tense se supone que yo llegaba a las siete al trabajo entonces llegué a las siete cinquante 😅

[@anytimeespanol]

No es muy común usar entonces, pero se enteinde muy bien tu ejemplo. Te vamos a recomedar esta forma: "Se supone que yo llegaba a las siete al trabajo pero llegué a las siente cincuenta". Esperamos continuarte ayudando!

[@katestevenson1155]

I don't understand...is this not a trigger for the subjunctive?

[@anytimeespanol]

I know it can be tricky, but Suponer, like pensar and creer, is followed by the indicative in Spanish. The person is supposing, thinking, or believing in what follows, so he does not express addional uncertainty or doubt by using the subjunctive. Remember, even if something is not true, but the speaker believes or "supposes" it is, we use the indicative after.

[@jimmymerilas]

Future tense se supone que mañana yo voy a comprar flores para la mujer mía

[@anytimeespanol]

Tu ejemplo en futuro muy bien, pero recuerda que al referirte a tu mujer es preferible decir: "Se supone que mañana yo voy a comprar flores para mi mujer" Y que bueno que practiques con ejemplos =) MUY BIEN!

[@dav22]

Too fast , i need to digest all the phrase but it drops off the screen too quickly.

[@anytimeespanol]

@dav22 ok thanks for the comment. We'll work on slowing down. In the meantime, you can slow down the speed in youtube or pause the video to see the examples for more time 👍🏻🙌🏻

[@NJgirl4eva89]

Espera…no entiendo. En tú ejemplo, dices “El clima va a estar soleado” cuando tranduces en inglés, dices es “The weather is supposed to be sunny” pero ¿por qué no es “The weather is going to be sunny”? ¿O lo estoy pensando demasiado? Lol 😂

[@anytimeespanol]

Jaja pues encontraste un error en nuestro video. 🙌👍 Cuando yo digo el clima va a estar soleado, olvidé decir antes se supone que. Entonces, porque cometí ese error, tienes razón que las dos frases no coinciden. El clima va a estar soleado The weather is going to be sunny. Se supone que el clima va a estar soleado. The weather is supposed to be sunny. (Supposedly, the weather is going to be sunny)
