Usage notes

[edit]

Like other similarly formed contractions, speakers only usewoulda to replace the modal sense ofwould have, i.e. wherehave precedes a past participle:We woulda come if you'd called. They donot use it to replacewould followed by the verbhave used lexically, e.g.*We woulda a reason. (We would have a reason would be contracted toWe'd have a reason instead.) See alsogonna.
