You will hear many people say 'gonna' instead of going to. This is normal contracted

speech.

You will also see 'gonna' in the written form - but this is very informal.

Do not confuse 'going to​' as a grammatical structure with 'go to​' as a main verb.

E.g.

"I'm gonna​ go​ to bed." (I'm going to + go to bed) = correct

"I'm gonna Paris this weekend." = incorrect

"I'm gonna​ go​ to Paris this weekend." = correct
