Language Points 1. wanna, gonna, 2. what a ADJECTIVE+NOUN to VERB 1. wanna, gonna,
2. what a ADJECTIVE+NOUN to VERB
After ‘want’ you can use a verb (to do) or a noun. If you use a verb, it is always a ‘to do’ verb, and when we are speaking we usually put ‘want’ and ‘to’ together, so it sounds like ‘wanna’. But be careful! When we use a noun after ‘want’, there is no ‘to’, so you can’t say ‘wanna’. “I wanna be rich” is good English, but “I wanna more money” is not correct.
If you want to express something strongly, you can use this structure. Here are some examples: “what a nice day to have a picnic” today is nice for a picnic “what a horrible thing to say” the thing you said was horrible “what a nice present to give her” the present you gave her was nice “what a surprising thing to do” the thing you did was surprising We usually use ‘thing’ when we make this kind of sentence, and often the adjectives: ‘nice’, ‘funny’, ‘stupid’, ‘surprising’ and ‘horrible’.
The same thing is true for ‘going’, but it’s a little more difficult. When ‘going’ is followed by a verb, we can say ‘gonna’: “I’m gonna meet my friend tonight” But when it’s followed by a place, awe can’t say ‘gonna’: “I’m going to France” (not “gonna France”)
