Dan
Hi guys! Dan for BBC Learning English here with this week's Learner Question. Find out what it is after this.

OK! This week's learner question comes from Daniel. Daniel! Hey, buddy! Daniel, Daniel. Hey! Daniel in Argentina. He says, I would like to know please under what circumstances we should use wanna and gonna, and what exactly they mean.

Well, it's a good question, Daniel. These expressions are extremely common in informal speech, especially in American English. It's important that you are able to recognise and understand them, but you probably won't need to use them and you shouldn't write them down. You should always write the extended form.

Gonna is a form of going to, and like going to it can be used for future predictions and future plans. It can be accompanied by the be verb, or not. And, it's more common to omit the verb in 2nd person singular and plural sentences. For example, what you gonna do now? I'm gonna sit down and relax.

Wanna can be used with all singular and plural pronouns, except in the 3rd person - that's he or she. We still need to use the 's' with the verb in these cases. It means want to. I want to becomes I wanna. Again, the auxiliary verb here in the question can be omitted. For example, what you wanna do now? I wanna go home. My father wants us to have dinner.

Gotta is another example of condensed language. It comes from have got to. And it's much less common in question forms, but when it does appear in a question, the have can be omitted. For example, what you gotta do this evening? I'm not sure. I gotta phone home and find out.

I hope that answers your question, Daniel. Thank you very much for writing to us. If anybody else out there has a question for Learners' Questions, you can email us on: learning.english@bbc.co.uk. Please remember to include Learners' Questions in the subject box and your name and where you're writing from. We can't possibly answer all the questions, guys, we're very sorry. We just get too many, but we do read every single one. And for more information, go to our website: bbclearningenglish.com. That's it for this week's Learners' Questions. Thank you very much for tuning in. I'll see you next time. Bye.

Here you will find extra grammar explanations with exercises, vocabulary, games and more...

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
We have hundreds of pages of high-quality video and audio, along with interactive exercises to help you with your grammar and vocabulary. Here are three ways to find a page where you can get started:

1. Test your level here and find pages aimed at learners like you.

2. Use the menu links at the top of every page to explore the site and see what kinds of materials are available.

3. Use the search feature at the top-right of every page to find the grammar, vocabulary or topics you want to learn more about.

Six great ways to help you improve your English here

1. Take some time to explore the site. Use the links at the top of the page to go to different sections and see what kinds of materials are available. Get a feel for the level of difficulty of different sections so you can see what will be most useful to you.

2. Start with something that is not too high a level. Many users find Elementary Podcasts Series Three a good place to begin, though this obviously depends upon your level and needs.

3. Keep a vocabulary notebook as you work. Organise it by topic ('work', 'family', 'food', etc.) and add words and phrases to it as you go through the material. Test yourself regularly to see if you remember the words.

4. Find time to practise English during your regular day. Perhaps you have a friend with whom you can practise speaking, or perhaps you can practise by yourself, just speaking English when you are alone at home or at work. This kind of practice is great for developing fluency in speaking, so that when you need to use English in the 'real' world you are ready and confident.

5. Use the Cambridge Dictionaries Online search box to look up words and phrases you want to learn more about. Be sure to read the dictionary entries carefully, as there is a lot of information there!

6. Register and you can participate in the site and ask questions in the Comments section of each page. Be sure to read the House Rules about what kinds of things you can and cannot write in the Comments!

The best technique for using our pages

There is no one way to use LearnEnglish, but here is one technique that a lot of learners find useful.

Many of our pages have a video, some audio or a text article towards the top of the page. They might have a preparation task that you should do first, but often the best way to start is just to press play or read this part of the page.
If you find what you're listening to or reading much too difficult or easy, use the advice above to find a page in a different section of the site. You shouldn't easily understand everything, butyou should be able to understand a lot of what you hear or read.

Then you will find some tasks. These might be testing what you understood or they might be about the language you heard or read. You can do them as many times as you like and you can also go back to the video, audio or text if you get stuck.

There are usually some downloadable PDF files which can be useful if you have a poor-quality internet connection or if you are a teacher who wants to use our materials in class. Finally, there are the comments where you can discuss the page with other learners (in English!) or ask questions.

Not all our pages are exactly like this. For example, our grammar reference is more like a book (with some interactive exercises) and we also have some games that are just for playing.
