When do you use the phrase "gonna be"?

"Gonna be" is the same phrase as "going to be." We use these phrases when we intend to do something in the future or when we expect something to happen in the future. "Gonna be" is informal, however you can use this phrase around almost anyone since English doesn't focus on formality. Ex: I'm gonna be late tonight. Ex: It's gonna be a cold one tomorrow! Ex: She's gonna be a mom soon. Ex: We're gonna be famous one day.
