¿Cuál es la diferencia entre Am I supposed to know who you are? y Should I know who you are? ?Puedes dar oraciones como ejemplo.

I was told that “should” is equivalent to “be supposed to”. Are they exactly the same thing? Or they are slightly different from each other?

They are very similar so this is a pretty good question.

You can use either one, but the first one "sounds better" if that makes sense. I guess you could say that it sounds more 'formal' because of the higher vocabulary. But again, you can use either in any circumstance.

No problem, really. This is a question that I had to stop and think about for a second. It kind of helped me understand my language a little bit more than before.
