In this episode of the All Ears English podcast, Lindsay and Aubrey address a listener question about the pronunciation of "suppose" and "supposed to," explaining why one ends with a "Z" sound and the other with an "S" sound. They clarify the different meanings and usages, with "suppose" (with a "Z" sound) used as a verb meaning to think or believe, often shortened in casual speech, and "supposed" (with an "S" sound) used in the phrase "supposed to," meaning expected to. The hosts provide examples, role-play scenarios, and discuss elision in pronunciation, highlighting the importance of context and clear communication. They also promote their Global English Pronunciation course for listeners seeking to improve their pronunciation skills.
