Grammar Quiz No.53

N2Reading Comprehension〜はずだった

今日は休みのはずだったのに、急に呼び出された。

Q. What actually happened to the speaker?

Translation

Today was supposed to be my day off, but I was suddenly called in.

Explanation

はずだった + のに signals that an expectation ('should have been a day off') was overturned. 呼び出された (passive) says they got summoned — so the day off didn't happen.
