Answer 1

Ответ:

Don't tell anyone what I told you. We were not (weren't) supposed to know.

He says we can look at the pictures but we are not (aren't) supposed to touch them.

Customers are supposed to have these weighed in the "fruit and vegetables" department, sir.

I'm going to wash the car now. I was supposed to do it yesterday but I didn't feel like it.

I'd better hurry up; I am (I'm) supposed to meet Helen at eleven o'clock.

В последнем предложении есть два варианта. Первый - тот, что я написала. Он правильный, если 11-ти ещё нет, но скоро будет, и ему/ей надо поторопиться. Второй - I was supposed to meet Helen at eleven o'lock. Этот правильный, если уже 11 или чуть больше, и ему/ей надо поторопиться, так как уже и так больше условленного времени , а он/она ещё не на месте. Разницу я выделила жирным шрифтом. Решать, как писать, тебе.
