I want to ask a question about ''be intend to be'' which you dont mentioned.I found these sentence in the macmillan dictonary ''You were meant to keep the children out of trouble.'' does it convey that keeping the children out of trouble was my obligation but I failed I mean it has same meaning with You should have kept the children out of trouble but you didnt.
I dont understan what meant to be means ''I thought we could be friends, but I guess it just wasn't meant to be.''
3.Another meaning of be meant to be is expected like be supposed to and should be and I can use ''be supposed to'' or ''should'' instead I use ''be expected to '' for below sentences
The buses are meant toarrive every 15 minutes.
Brighton is meant tobe very beautiful at this time of year.
The buses are meant to arrive every 15 minutes.
My last question is last two last sentenced are used for telling ''we expect something likely happen soon .I ask this last question because I want to be sure how I use it.Thanks for Advance
