Hello and welcome to 6 Minute Vocabulary with me Finn and me Catherine.
And today we're talking about short spoken forms.
That's words like gonna, wanna and gotta that we use a lot in spoken English.
Let's start by listening to Jason and Yuki talking about their plans for the weekend.
And here's a question.
Who is Yuki meeting on Saturday night?
Have a listen.
What are you doing this weekend, Yuki?
I don't know.
I'm probably going to meet Lucy on Saturday night.
Oh right.
Do you want to come to the cinema in the afternoon?
No, thanks.
I've got to finish an English essay for Monday morning.
OK. Let me know if you change your mind.
Well, that was Jason and Yuki.
We asked you, who's Yuki meeting on Saturday night?
And the answer is she's probably going to meet Lucy.
That's right.
But instead of saying going to, Yuki said gonna.
