How to use wanna and gonna CORRECTLY SOUND LIKE A NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKER
hello everyone welcome back to english
with lucy I have got a seriously
important lesson for you today and this
lesson is going to help you understand
native speakers and sound more native
yourself so what are we going to talk
about today well we’re going to talk
about reductions I’m going to show you
how to correctly use words like wanna
and gunner
I use them all the time in daily
conversations it’s not good English but
it is colloquial conversational English
and you will hear it and you probably
will want to learn to use it because
saying I want you and I’m going to all
the time it can be pretty tiresome
quickly before we get started I just
want to remind you that if you really
want to take your English up to the next
level you’re going to need to talk and
practice with native speakers and there
is a fabulous platform that will help
you do this and it’s called I talkie now
I talkie is a website where you can find
lots and lots of native qualified
teachers and they’re ready to help you
become more fluent I’ve got a present

that offer then click in the link in the
description box and yes let me know if
you use I talk it I’d love to hear how
you get on it’s a website I love and I
use myself so you’ve probably heard
native speakers use words like Warner
and gonna now because it’s a colloquial
word there are some variations in
spelling I have seen it written wanna
which is what I would tend to use and
also Warner and I’ve seen Ghana and
Ghana as well but the pronunciation
stays the same
wanna Donna not gonna it’s gonna not
Warner it’s wanna
now the first word that I want to talk
about is Juana now 1a means want to want
to I want to go home I want to go home
now this is fine when we use it with I
you we and they I want to go home
you want to go home we want to go home
and they want to go home that’s fine
the problem arises when we want to use
he she or it why well because we have to
use the third person singular now I want
to but she wants to so wanna changes to
one stuff one stir so he wants to go
home she wants to go home it wants to go
home so you must remember that if it’s
he she or it it’s not wanna it’s one
stuff you have to make sure that the
verb and the subject agree now moving on
to gonna gonna means going to and the
biggest mistake that I hear is that
students forget to use it with the verb
to be I am going you are going to be
going so I always here I gonna go she
gonna go we gonna do that’s wrong it
needs to be I’m gonna go she’s gonna go
we are gonna do now the other error that
students tend to make with gonna is to
do with the pronunciation of the third
person singular again I’m gonna go
you’re gonna go we’re gonna go they’re
gonna go is fine but as she and he both
finished with a vowel sound which is
voiced we need to use that sound she’s
gonna go he’s gonna
if you want to sound native you must do
that if you say she’s gonna go or he’s
gonna go I immediately recognize that
you’re not a native speaker of course
people will understand you but if you
want to speak like a native then that’s
what you need to do now with it on the
other hand as is an unvoiced consonant
we use the sound after it so she’s gonna
he’s gonna it scanner now I hope that
clarified your doubts about the
reductions wanna and gonna remember not
gonna it’s gonna not wanna it’s wanna
remember there are various different
spellings but I would advise against
using them in written English it’s
something that we tend to use more
speaking now remember that your subject
has to agree with the verb wanna I wanna
he or she one stir then remember to use
the verb to be with gonna and the
pronunciation she’s gonna he’s gonna
it’s gonna okay that’s everything I hope
