is vs would be

Post by tamguatlay »

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.

Why is "would be" used in place of "is"?

Thanks.
