12/24/2023 0 Comments Sneak peek vs sneak peakSo just remember it’s always supposed to, not suppose. Used in this way, you follow supposed with the word ‘to’. Cinderella was supposed to be home by midnight.You’re not supposed to forge someone’s signature!.I was supposed to go to the shops yesterday but I forgot.The more frequently seen usage of Supposed is used to mean ‘meant to’: You’d most likely say ‘assumed’ or ‘guessed’. We supposed the man she was with was her husband.At the time, I supposed she still loved me.But let’s look at a couple examples anyway: This is an interesting one because although supposed is the past tense of suppose, it’s not very often used in that way. Suppose she doesn’t show up to court! What then?.Suppose I hadn’t missed my train that morning.Suppose is sometimes used as a ‘what if’ type of scenario: I suppose I’ll answer the phone then / I guess I’ll answer the phone then. You can replace the word ‘suppose’ with ‘think’ or ‘guess’: Or what about when you’re on the train and you hurtle past another one? Sometimes it’s hard to tell if the other train is moving or stationary isn’t it? Again, the A after station is not pronounced. Your driving instructor might ask you to make a turn or parking manoeuvre from a stationary position. Stationary, pronounced station-ry, means something is not moving, or still. While there’s a slight pronunciation difference between the two, the main difference is that one is spelt with an A and the other with an E and we’re going to use this to our advantage in a sec! These two are confused so, so often, and it’s obvious to see why. I guess you could pique someone’s interests by giving them a sneak peek of an upcoming movie. Honestly, I don’t think it’s widely used anymore, but you deserve to know it! To pique someone’s interests means to excite someone. Lastly, we have the expression to pique your interest. And just to confuse us all even further, there’s also the popular EDM artist called Peking Duk.
