Hello, Emma here with another pronunciation tip.
The phrase going to is often used to talk about the future.
- I'm going to have lunch.
However, in normal, spoken English, we often use gonna, gonna.
- I'm gonna have lunch.
And that's it! Going to, gonna. I'm gonna have some lunch now! See you later.
