    小知识

    If you suppose you want to see that new horror movie, you may not be too sure. Suppose means to guess, think, or imagine something without absolute certainty. Best to hold off and watch something funny instead.

    Suppose also has the meaning of assuming something hypothetical for the sake of argument. You might ask, “Suppose someone breaks in while I'm away?” Suppose also has the more technical (and often legal) sense of something you must take for granted if some other condition is to happen. Your theory might suppose the victim was home by 8:00. In this last sense, suppose introduces something that's a precondition.
