Teacher, I always hear people say "wanna" in movies. Is that the same as "want to"?

Yes, Panha! Excellent observation. "Wanna" is just informal, fast spoken English for "want to". You can use it when speaking with friends, but always write "want to" in tests or formal emails! 🎬

Can I use "to" with modals like 'can' or 'must'? Like "I must to go"?

Great question! No, modals like can, must, should, and will NEVER use 'to'. It's just 'I must go' or 'I can play'. That's why we will learn about Modals later in this section! 🧠
