Question

Is this statement correct?

The words: wanna and gonna would be changed to want to, going to in a clean verbatim file.

Yes or No

Answer 1

Yes, the statement is correct.

Wanna is a contraction of the words want to. It is used in informal speech.

For example, You wanna know all about it?

In a clean verbatim file it will be - You want to know all about it?

 

Gonna is a contraction of the words going to. It is used in informal speech.

For example, What's he gonna do now?

In a clean verbatim file it will be - What is he going to do now?

Answer 2

The answer is YES.

The terms wanna and gonna are informal terms. These terms will automatically be converted to their proper forms want to and going to when the sentence in which they are used is processed for conversion into a clean verbatim file.

Examples:

The sentence “Does he wanna have a slice of cake?” will be transformed to “Does he want to have a slice of cake?”.

The sentence “No one knows what is gonna happen the next minute.” will be changed to “No one knows what is going to happen the next minute.”.
