One more useful tip... Thanks, teacher.

should be Usonian instead of American. American is anyone from the Americas which is not just English speaking

@brandoscostumes in the last sentence, 'wanna' can occur.

'Who do you wanna visit John?' is a perfectly valid sentence.

It's not not to be an asshole and confuse the people who are watching this to legitimately try to learn this.

[brandoscostumes]

no circumstance, however formal, would break the words 'want' and 'to' (or any other such sequence). THAT is foreign. if you feel 'wanna' would be too casual, the only alternative is a glottal stop replacing the first one. the assimilation of the 't' to the 'n' preceding it (being same place of articulation) occurs as simply a phonological rule of natural english speech.

[rachelsenglish]

@brandoscostumes But the T of TO would be articulated ... wan'to

[brandoscostumes]

@rachelsenglish quite right. as for the distribution of wanna-contraction, there are environments in which it cannot occur (when there is a subject in the complement clause that would have intervened but which was later fronted).

you want to visit john ---> you want to visit who? -----> who do you wanna visit?

you want her to visit john -----> you want who to visit john? -----> who do you want to visit john?

in the last sentence 'wanna' cannot occur. universal gramma is real!

[rachelsenglish]

@museinter They are simply contractions of going to, want to, got to, just like can't is a contraction of cannot.
