The pronunciation “gonna” = “going to”. We still need “be”, and we can’t say “to” after.

*I gonna visit my friends. -> I’m gonna visit my friends.
*I’m gonna to study now. -> I’m gonna study now.

Also, we only say “gonna” for “be going to” about the future.
OK: I’m gonna go to that restaurant.
BAD: I’m gonna that restaurant.
(You need to say: I’m going to that restaurant.)

“I gotta go” = I’ve got to go. = I have to go.

         (future perfect progressive: will have been + verb(ing))

We almost always use future perfect progressive to tell how much time something will have continued. (It’s very uncommon in a situation that doesn’t include how much time.)
