supposed to in the future

[ostap77]

Do we use "supposed to +infinitive" with the future simple?

"She will be supposed to take this test again." Correct?


"If you flunk this test, you are supposed to take it again." ??

OR

"If you flunk it, you will be supposed to take this test again." ??

• She will be supposed to take this test again. :cross:
• If you flunk this test, you are supposed to take it again. :?:
  • If you flunk this test, are you supposed to take it again? :tick:
• If you flunk it, you will be supposed to take this test again. :cross:

 

[Norma3]

why the second sentence is wrong?

If you flunk this test, you are supposed to take it again.

If teacher is telling the student the above sentence, then how it is said?

 

[lauralie2]

If you flunk this test, you are supposed to take it again.

If teacher is telling the student the above sentence, then how it is said?

I think the sentence in red is awkward, not wrong. In answer to your second question, I'd use:

• If you fail this test, you will be required to retake it.

"If you flunk this test, you are supposed to take it again."

This is unobjectionable, in my opinion..

"If you fail this test, you will be required to take it again."

This has a slightly different meaning, but is also unobjectionable.
