Hi everyone
Was/ was were supposed to
can mean [that] what was expected didn't or won't happen.[examples:]
,I wasn't going to go to the party(but I guess I will)
I wasn't supposed to go by myself (but I'll have to).


I want to know why it isn't:
,I wasn't going to go to the party(but I guess I would)
I wasn't supposed to go by myself (but I would have to) They are future in the past,not simple future:shock:
Here is the picture
