when can we say "gonna" instead of "going to" ? When we can say "gonna" instead of "going to"
Sorry.WHen we can say "gonna" instead of "going to"? WHen we can't say "gonna" instead of "going to"?I don't say about writing.I just mean in speaking.Which situation can't we say gonna instead of "going to "?

Answer

It's for spoken English only, and then only fast spoken English. If you're speaking slowly, using "gonna" will just make you look stupid. And if you use it in written English, you'll look even more stupid.

Answer

Do your English-speaking friends say "gonna"? Then use "gonna".

Do your English-speaking friends say "going to"? Then use "going to"

Is it someone you don't know? Use "going to".

Unfortunately, using "gonna" too often makes you sound illiterate.  Especially with people you don't know.  Follow James' advice.  Never use "gonna" in writing for this reason. :)

Answer

Eek! No I would not say the answer is all the time. Gonna does mean the same thing as "going to" but it's extreme slang and I wouldn't recommend using it all the time.

Answer

All the time. "Gonna" = "going to".
