Forgetting the 'g' in the 'I' form

Very often, 'supone' is followed by 'que' to introduce the thing being assumed. Think of 'que' as the word 'that' in English: 'She assumes that...' becomes 'Ella supone que...'

Adding Extra Info with 'que'

Using 'supongo que...' is a great way to state your opinion without sounding too forceful. It's like saying 'I guess...' or 'I assume...' in English.

A Softer 'I think'

Very common in everyday conversation when making assumptions or guesses.

In this meaning, the subject (the thing doing the 'involving') comes before the verb. If the subject is plural, remember to change the verb: 'Estos proyectos suponen un riesgo' (These projects pose a risk).

Who's Doing the Action?

This use of 'supone' is a great way to sound more advanced. Instead of saying 'es un problema' (it's a problem), try 'supone un problema' (it poses a problem).
