"Suppose" is an assumption - A verb

"Supposed" is also an assumption but - An adjective which modifies something else. Hence, the way they're used is different.

Example: I suppose we should leave now.
We were supposed to be there together.

Hope this helps.

Suppose' means considering something to be true, even though you are not sure, while, 'supposed to' indicates that you are expected to be doing something. Note that 'supposed' is always followed by 'to'.

Got this from here ; Langeek grammar

I just commented in your other thread What age should a child be allowed to use a cellphone , and I think you're right.

How do we use "suppose" or "supposed" in a sentence?

I was writing a topic earlier, and when I got to a point which comprised of "are we supposed", I started doubting if I should use "suppose" instead.

How do we use the two when constructing a sentence please?
