Suppose's synonyms
Assume
To suppose something is to take it as true without proof. Similarly, to assume is to take something for granted or without proof.
Example: Let's assume that the meeting will start at 3 p.m.
Note: Assume often implies a more active acceptance or taking on of a belief or idea.
Presume
Presume means to suppose something to be true based on probability or evidence.
Example: I presume you have already made the necessary arrangements.
Note: Presume often carries a stronger sense of confidence or certainty compared to suppose.
Believe
Believe means to accept something as true or real.
Example: I believe that she will arrive on time.
Note: Believe implies a stronger conviction or faith in the truth of the supposition.
Think
To think is to have an opinion or idea about something, often based on reasoning or intuition.
Example: I think it will rain later this evening.
Note: Think can be used more informally and subjectively compared to suppose, which is more about assuming something as a premise.
Suppose expressions, common phrases
Suppose so
This phrase is used to express tentative agreement or assumption.
Example: A: Do you think she will come to the party? B: I suppose so, but I'm not sure.
Note: The addition of 'so' adds a sense of agreement or acceptance to the original word 'suppose'.
Suppose not
It is used to indicate a negative assumption or disagreement.
Example: A: Will you be able to make it to the meeting? B: I suppose not, I have another appointment at that time.
Note: Similar to 'suppose so,' 'suppose not' adds a sense of disagreement or negation to the original word 'suppose'.
Suppose that
This phrase is used to introduce a hypothetical situation or assumption.
Example: Let's suppose that we have enough funding to start the project.
Note: Adding 'that' after 'suppose' helps to introduce a specific assumption or hypothetical scenario.
Suppose for a moment
It is used to encourage someone to consider or imagine a particular scenario or perspective.
Example: Suppose for a moment that you were in her shoes, how would you feel?
Note: By adding 'for a moment,' it emphasizes a brief period of time for the listener to think about the hypothetical situation.
Suppose to be
This phrase is used to indicate an expectation or obligation.
Example: He is supposed to be here by now, but he hasn't arrived yet.
Note: By adding 'to be' after 'suppose,' it implies an expectation or requirement for something to happen.
What if I suppose
It is used to introduce a hypothetical scenario or assumption and inquire about the consequences.
Example: What if I suppose that everything will turn out fine, would you still worry?
Note: By starting with 'What if,' it sets up a hypothetical situation for discussion or consideration.
Suppose as much
This phrase is used to express agreement or acknowledgment based on existing information.
Example: I suppose as much, considering the circumstances.
Note: Adding 'as much' emphasizes agreement or understanding based on the context or information provided.
Suppose that's true
It is used to acknowledge a possibility or assumption for the sake of argument.
Example: Suppose that's true, we'll need to rethink our strategy.
Note: By adding 'that's true,' it acknowledges a potential assumption or fact for further consideration.
Suppose everyday (slang) expressions
Supposedly

Note: It implies an element of uncertainty or skepticism compared to 'suppose.'

Example: I suppose say we could go to the movies instead.
Note: It introduces a sense of hesitation or consideration not present in 'suppose.'
