Today let us see a common redundant. One of the common redundants in English is, as under:
Many people have the tendency to use "Suppose" and "If" together as follows:
* Suppose if I happen to fail in the exam also, I don't bother
This is actually incorrect. Either use "Suppose" (or) "If", since they both mean the same. Hence, the correct usage is,
Correct: Suppose I happen to fail in the exam also, I don't bother
Correct: If I happen to fail in the exam also, I don't bother
