i thought you gonna vs i thought you are going

Both phrases have issues. The first phrase, 'i thought you gonna,' is incorrect due to the incorrect use of 'gonna' instead of 'were going to.' The second phrase, 'i thought you are going,' is also incorrect as it should be 'I thought you were going.' The correct form would be 'I thought you were going.'

i thought you gonna

This phrase is incorrect. 'Gonna' is informal and should be replaced with 'were going to.'

The correct form is 'I thought you were going.' 'Gonna' is a colloquial form of 'going to' and should be avoided in formal writing.
