Example: If you were found guilty and sentenced to either a fine or time in jail BUT the judge suspended the sentence.... it usually is suspended based on something that the judge wants from you in return (e.g: drive with no tickets for the nest 3 years - or - live your life with no police involvement for the next 2 years - or - something similar to that). If you fail to do these things the judge is requesting of you (in return for the suspended sentence), he could re-impose the previously suspended sentence and have you serve it as punishment.
When you issued a suspended sentance, that means they are holding it over you head, for instance, if you were issued a 30 day suspended sentence, and you get in trouble, you will have to go to jail for 30 days.

A suspended execution of sentence is when the judge actually renders a sentence to the defendant, but passes the execution of the sentence on defendant unless they commit another offense. The court will then have the right to impose the original sentence upon the defendant. A suspended imposition of sentence is when the judge does not enter a sentence on defendant and has the right to execute a sentence upon the defendant should they commit another offense.
How was the sentence imposed? (i.e.- a 2 year sentence - serve 60 days with the remainder suspended? -OR- the ENTIRE 2 years sentence suspended?) It all depends upon the wording of the judge's decision.
