अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल (8)
Yes, they are interchangeable. `Suppose we go?` and `Supposing we go?` mean the same thing, though `Supposing` is slightly more common as a conjunction.
It is neutral. It works in a business meeting (`Supposing we increase the budget?`) and in a casual chat (`Supposing we get pizza?`).
Not always, but it's very common because you are usually asking someone to imagine something. You can also use it in a statement: `Supposing it rains, we will stay home.`
This is called the 'subjunctive' or 'hypothetical' past. It shows that the situation is not real. `Supposing I won` means I haven't won yet.
No. This is a common mistake. Use one or the other: `If it rains...` or `Supposing it rains...`.
`Assuming` implies you think it's likely true. `Supposing` is just for imagination and doesn't care if it's likely or not.
Yes, but you must use the Past Perfect: `Supposing you had told me?` (But you didn't).
Yes, to set up a premise for an argument. `Supposing the hypothesis were true, we would expect...`
