verb to be present past and got, been

Os americanos fazem uso do “Have got” de modo diferente. Eles usam apenas o “got” e deitam fora o “have” e fazem uso apenas do “got”.

“Have got” é usado em inglês americano, mas informalmente, eles dizem apenas “got“.

Example:

I got a car. 

I got a problem.

I got a T-shirt just like this. 

You got any identification? 

Agora o caso é o de “ter de” (fazer algo). Ou seja, podemos dizer “have got to“, mas informalmente o “have” e deixado de fora e o “got to” transforma-se em “gotta“:

Example:

You gotta see this. 

You gotta be joking! 

I gotta go.

A gramática diz que com o sentido de possuir algo (ter), a forma Have got é duas vezes mais frequente no Inglês Britânico falado do que no Inglês Americano.

I have got a car.  [Inglês Britânico]

I have a car. [Inglês Americano]
