Don't forget to put a verb after the "going to", otherwise you can't pronounce it as /gonna/. Many pronounce it as /goin tuh/, too.

It can also be used for things - 'This TV is a gonner, I have to buy a new one'.

Best wishes,

Verbs and nouns in slang lingo, really?

Tell me Clive, what is the word "sucks" in, "Homework sucks"? Is it a verb or an adjective (or whatever)? If it's a verb, what does "homework" suck??

Clive - may I correct your correction? I think the noun is "goner", and it comes from "gone." "He's a goner" means "He's practically gone; he's as good as gone."

("Gone" is one of those words that look really weird when you look at it too long!)

As for "homework sucks!", "sucks" is certainly a verb. Even slang has parts of speech, Dehbaash. As for the object of the verb - I b
