Suppose we stop for a lunch break now?

[neb090]

I have several questions about the word "suppose."

1. Suppose we stop for a lunch break now?
2. Suppose we stop for a lunch break now.

Q1: In both of the sentences, could I use both affirmative and interrogative sentence?
Q2: Is "should" omitted in these two sentences? If it is, then could the following sentence correct?

Suppose he (should) pass the exam.

Sentence 1 would be in the affirmative for me. It might well be followed by a related question.
Suppose we stop for lunch now. Where do you want to eat?

I see no place for "should" in your final sentence. Note that you've got the tense wrong.
Suppose he passes the exam. Will he then go to university?

In both cases, "Suppose" is an imperative.

How about this:
1. Suppose (that) we stop for a lunch break now?
2. Supposing (that) we stop for a lunch break now.

Which one is better?

How about these?

1. Suppose (that) we stop for a lunch break now?
2. Supposing (that) we stop for a lunch break now.

Which one is better?

They're both wrong. The first is not a question. The second is not a complete sentence. If you start with "Supposing we stopped for lunch", you need a comma after now, and then something else.

Supposing we stopped for lunch now, we could get to Paris by 5pm.

Where did you get this poor example sentence from? If it's your own, I have a feeling you don't understand the meaning or use of 'suppose'. What are you trying to say?

So, "supposing" should be followed by another sentence to make it complete, while "suppose" shouldn't. Or both suppose and supposing should be followed by another sentence to make it complete?
