From the top of my head, I can tell you about two major meanings:
First one is "to think" E.g. I suppose he has already arrived home.
The second one is "to image something" E.g. Suppose you won a million tomorrow, what would you do? - this is a part of subjunctive mood, "suppose" is always placed at the beginning of the sentences.
Hope it helps :)

Supposed = intended; required; firmly believed; permitted
Example: I suppose you will tell me when it’s time for dinner.
Example: I suppose this belongs to you.
