Adding Extra Info with 'que'
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...'
Forgetting the 'g' in the 'I' form
Mistake: “Saying 'yo supono'.”
Correction: The 'I' form is irregular: 'yo supongo'. It's like 'pongo' from 'poner' (to put).
