A supper is usually a light meal and is probably had after a larger dinner has been had in the middle of the day.
Confused? Well most people see a dinner as a more complete meal. A common lunch in England is a sandwich, but dinner might include soup, meat with vegetables, and then a dessert like apple pie and ice cream. So, dinner is really the main meal and people might have it in the middle of the day or in the evening. Lunch and supper are both light kinds of meal. Lunch is in the middle of the day, supper is in the evening.
Now I mentioned there are some other meals. We talked about breakfast. Two more words that you could add to your list are brunch and tea.
