Dar por supuesto

Question

From my book:
He dado por supuesto que quería la tropa tambien asistiera.

...I took it for granted'

Answer 1

James Santiago said:

Yes, although, depending on the overall context, the tense might be "I have taken it for granted that..." or "I take it for granted that..." However, there seems to be a "que" missing. I would think it would be:

He dado por supuesto que quería que la tropa también asistiera.

I take it for granted that (he) wanted the troop to attend, too.

I assume that (he) wanted the troop to attend, too.

Thanks James, you are so observant, the second que was included. I copied it from the (innaccurate)note I made at the back of the book.
In the book he was talking to usted.

I think troop may be a bad translation in the book as he I think was referring to the crew of the aircraft. I have seen the crew of a ship described as tripulación before ...
