Did you know that SUPPOSED TO is a made-up phrase? (What isn't?) In this exercise I'm supposed to (LOL) use that phrase in four sentences: one about pit bulls, one about politicians, one about protractors, and one about pears. SUPPOSEDLY this will burn into my brain the fact that I shouldn't use SUPPOSED TO.
Pit bulls are SUPPOSED TO be a vicious breed; I, however, have several friends who own them who say they are pussy cats.
We elect politicians; we choose the candidates and they are SUPPOSED TO represent us as best they can.
No one can remember what protractors are SUPPOSED TO measure.
We are SUPPOSED TO eat five daily servings of fruits each day; my favorite fruit is the pear.
That was dumb. I will probably still use that made-up phrase. I think all phrases must be made-up, aren't they?
