Thread: Hypothesis

What is the usual form to start a sentence in which we declare a hypothesis?
In Spanish we say:
"supongamos ahora un elemento cualquiera de forma que..."

Thank you.

Guess now...
Let's imagine now...
Let's suppose now...
??

Hi Solfinker

In a mathematical context it's usual to say "Assume an element such that ...", or "Take an element ...", or "Let E be any element ...", etc.

Hope this helps.

Cheers.
P.

Of course it helps.
Thank you.

Es también muy común expresar hipótesis utilizando claúsulas condicionales con if, verbos modales y adverbios para indicar los distintos grados de posibilidad y probabilidad.
