Hi everyone, I am running MOR on an English corpus and most of the verbs that come after gonna, wanna, want to, and going to, are coded as nouns not as verbs:
*MOT: we're gonna ride in the stroller .
%mor: pro:sub|we~aux|be&PRES part|go&PRESP~prep|to n|ride prep|in
det:art|the n|stroll&dv-AGT .
*MOT: are you gonna play ?
%mor: cop|be&PRES pro:per|you part|go&PRESP~prep|to n|play ?
*MOT: we can go play outside
%mor: pro:sub|we mod|can v|go n|play adv|outside
*MOT: let's go dance
%mor: v|let~pro:obj|us v|go n|dance
*MOT: well she wants to play
%mor: co|well pro:sub|she v|want-3S prep|to n|play
*MOT: you <wanna> [: want to] act like you <ain't> [: are not] given it up
%mor: pro:per|you v|want prep|to n|act prep|like pro:per|you aux|be&PRES
neg|not part|give&PASTP pro:per|it adv|up
*MOT: oh my god you want to talk so bad
%mor: co|oh det:poss|my co|god pro:per|you v|want prep|to n|talk adv|so
adj|bad
Is there a way I can fix this?
Thanks!

Florencia,
Thanks for noticing this. Seems like you may be using a slightly older version of MOR. However, even the current one has most of these problems. I fixed them by adding these prepost rules:
# noun to verb, after contracted modal "gonna play"
part|*~inf|to n|*^v|* => part|*~inf|to v|*
# noun to verb, after go "let's go play"
v|go n|*^v|* => v|go v|*
# noun to verb, "want to play"
v|want* inf|to^prep|to n|*^v|* => v|want* inf|to v|*
Hopefully, these don’t break something else. That is always a danger with rule systems.
