よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes use "supposition" in everyday speech where "guess" or "idea" is more natural; "supposition" is quite formal. They may also try to use it as a verb (*"I supposition that…"*), but the verb form is "suppose." Another mistake is using a wrong preposition, such as *"under the supposition that"* instead of the fixed phrase "on the supposition that."

よくある間違い：
Learners may confuse "supposition" with "proposition." A "supposition" is an unproven starting idea, while a "proposition" is usually a statement or claim that can be argued for or against. Another mistake is using it in very casual speech instead of more natural words like "idea" or "guess."
