Hi,

It isn’t really a question of correctness or not. (1) needs a capital ‘w’ and is a question and needs a question mark.(2) isn’t a question and doesn’t need a question mark. That’s about all I can say about them.

What am I supposed to do? is the correct.

Also you can say: I am supposed to go to the work early.

Supposed = imagine

4

I’m afraid that is the furthest thing from the truth.
Where did you learn that?

Also, you should say “I’m supposed to go to work early” (no “the”)

Hello Boeid,

I suspect that you have said ‘suppose’ means ‘imagine’ because it is used to introduce a hypothesis and trace or ask about what follows from it
Suppose he came in right now / Imagine he came in right now.

‘supposed to do’ here is akin to ‘expected to do’

What am i supposed to do? / What am I expected to do?
This is what I am supposed to do. / This is what I am expected to do.

In your example:
I am supposed to go to work early. / I am expected to go to work early.

Our Tort System,

I have learned as British English not US. I think it’s not a big deal for you to know where did I learn that!

Beeesneees,

Thank you for your clarification.

I believe the word was correctly written - supposed (some sort of command or duty ).

Another example:

  1. Where can I go?
  2. I want to know where I can go?

Please observe the difference.
