标题: 求助一个单词，一时想不起来了
这句是“我本来打算回家” 本来打算，英文怎么说？是support to do吗？

I'm supposed to go back home

i was supposed to go back home...use past tense . i am supposed to go home means what you are going to do or expected to do...

it's ok for the either way, you can say 'I am supposed to..' or 'I was supposed to' .

It only depends the context you are uisng.

When you really want to meet a person and finlly made it, you can say, I just want to meet you so badly, otherwise I was supposed to stay at home for 'sex and city' this moment.

本来打算 if my chinese interpretation is correct,it means he/she was trying to do something he/she had the intention to do but eventually he/she changed their mind doing something other than what they had intended to do earlier on...so by using the present tense i am supposed means changing of mind has not happened yet..the poster may still 打算 to do what he/she is supposed to do..

'我本来打算' 应该表达的是'我'的意愿.
i was supposed to go home. 的意思更倾向于some one wants me to go home. 所以我认为 I inteded to go home or i was going to go home更贴切些.

I suppose to go back China two weeks later.
I was supposed to go back China. (the idea was others', not yours)
I previously planed to go back China. (it's your idea)

嗯，intended的确更合适
看到lz写了个support觉得他好像在问suppose

i was supposed to go back doesn't necessary mean it's someone else's idea.it simply means that person was expected(either by him/herself or others) to take a certain action.the best way to put it is to say "i was supposed or intended to go back BUT....."
i previously planned .....would sound very unnatural if not weird in that context...just say i planned to go home BUT....(something cropped up and there was a changed of heart..)

as for i suppose to go back..well that's neither english nor chinese..

correction..a change of heart not a changed of heart.

i was supposed to go back ...

You're right.

I suppose i should go back China.
I was supposed to do something, can be the person's expectation as well.
I planned to do something but... simple
