English Speaking Basics

UNIT-07

 I'm gonna + (verb)

The word 'gonna' is incorrect grammatically. The equivalent in proper grammar would be 'going to.' When using the word 'gonna' you are telling someone what you are planning to do at that moment or in the near future.

Here are some examples:

"I'm gonna have some coffee."

"I'm gonna go to work."

"I'm gonna eat some cake."

"I'm gonna send out my resume."

"I'm gonna run a marathon."

"I'm gonna ask her out for dinner."

"I'm gonna stop smoking."

"I'm gonna help my friends."

"I'm gonna take swim lessons."

"I'm gonna read a book."

UNIT-08

I have + (noun)

By using the words 'I have' you are informing someone of something you have possession of or have acquired.

Here are some examples:

"I have a cat."

"I have a nice car."

"I have a house."

"I have a computer."

"I have a headache."

You may hear the words 'cannot' and 'won't' used with 'I have.' By adding these you can express what you will not put up with or allow.

Here are some examples:

"I cannot have that behavior in my house."

"I cannot have you over tonight."

"I won't have anything to do with that."

"I won't have it any other way."

UNIT-09

 I have + (past participle)

Again, 'I have' shows possession or something acquired. By adding a past participle you are informing someone of a past or completed action done by you.

Here are some examples:

"I have done it."

"I have heard that before."

"I have driven a car."

"I have forgotten the words."

"I have read that book."

"I have eaten at that restaurant before."

"I have flown in an airplane."

"I have forgiven you."

"I have seen you before."

"I have written a letter."
