The "correct" form of "gonna have to", though, would be "going to have to", which is a bit awkward to say, even for a native English speaker, whereas "will have to" conveys (nearly) the same meaning with a much "smoother" flow of words. | |

Nov 20, 2014 at 12:54 | comment | added | oerkelens | Gonna is a dialectical form of going to. If you look for the difference between going to and will, you'll find there is a perceived difference in certainty about the described action. For more details, you might want to have a look at English Language Learners. | |
