我們常常在做好計畫後，遇到一些意外，計畫泡湯後只好另尋方法。這個時候要怎麼用英文清楚表達，你本來該做某事卻沒有做呢?一起和 Engvid.com的講師Rebecca學學was supposed to 和 was going to 的用法吧!
1.主詞 + Be動詞過去式
I
He + was
She
第一人稱及第三人稱+ am,is的過去式was
You
We + were
They
第三人稱+ are 的過去式 were
2.Was supposed to / was going to +
I was supposed to call my mom but it got too late.
我本來要打給我媽的但是時間不早了。
I was supposed to talk to my boss but he was too busy.
我本來要和老闆說話的但他實在太忙了。
We were going to buy some milk but the store was closed.

He was going to fix the computer but he came home too late.

疑問句?
Supposed to / going to 也能做疑問句。問對方本來不是要做某事?聽起來會有點質問的感覺。
Weren’t you supposed to go to school today? What happened? How can you still at home today?
你不是應該要去上學嗎?發生什麼事了?你怎麼還在家裡?
Weren’t you going to submit your resume? What happened? Did you change your mind?
