Meet me Half way – gonna, outa, wanna, n…

Wanna and gonna are frequently used in speech in informal colloquial English, particularly American English, instead of want to and going to. You will also see them used in writing in quotes of direct speech to show the conversational pronunciation of want to and going to.

  • What we gonna do now? (= What are we going to do now?)
  • What you wanna do now? (Instead of: What do you want to do now?)
  • I wanna go home. My mum and dad are waiting for me and they wanna go out.
