How do you use suppose supposing & what if + present verb form?
We use suppose, supposing and what if + present verb form to make suggestions about what might happen: What time shall we meet? Suppose we meet in the offices downstairs at four o’clock?

When we are less certain, we use suppose, supposing and what if + past form to talk about future possibility: Suppose we asked Mary to baby-sit? Do you think she’d do it? (not as certain as Suppose we ask Mary to baby-sit?) Supposing someone else wrote the essay. How would we know? (not as certain as Supposing someone else writes the essay …)
