	Intelligent Freak  +  387028 Mon, 02 Jul 07 02:41 PM And why is it not "have gotten" instead of "have got" ? Isn't it that the correct construction is:          have +  past participle(verb) ?

	Kooyeen  +  387044 Mon, 02 Jul 07 02:58 PM Hi everyone, nope, this is what I know: Possession I have a car. - Yes I have got a car. - Yes, not common in the US though I've got a car. - Yes I got a car. - Yes, sometimes used in speech but not technically correct, so don't use this on English tests. She has a car. - Yes She has got a car. - Yes, not common in the US though She's got a car. - Yes She got a car. - No. You might sometimes leave out 've (as in "I got a car) but not the 's, so it should be "she's got a car"... Verb "get" present: get - I always get some money from her. past: got - I got some money from her. past participle: gotten (AmE), got (BrE) Idiomatic "must" (same comments as for "possession") I have to go to school. - Yep I have got to go to school. - Yep, not common in the US though I've got to go to school. - Yep I got to go to school. - Yep, used in speech, but not technically correct... etc... PS: other forms are sometimes found, but they are not as common as these, and I suspect they are kind of dialectal. For example, I recently found "Hurry up, I don't got much time, so make up your mind!" Kooyeen Joined on Thu, Dec 22 2005 Italy Senior Member 4,970 Parental Advisory / Explicit Posts Verbs

	New2grammar  +  387073 Mon, 02 Jul 07 03:33 PM Kooyeen, it seems like you don't think there's any difference between 'have and 've got', at least in your examples. Do you think they are any differences in the following: 'I've got a fever' vs 'I have a fever' 'I've got the flu' vs 'I have the flu' 'I've got a sore throat' vs 'I have a sore throat' I think the 've got' versions have recency meaning (have just contracted the disease) while 'have' versions simply state the current condition/state of the patient.

For example, I recently found "Hurry up, I don't got much time, so make up your mind!" Hi to you kooyeen... Ok, let's set aside the have as for  "possession".  It's a different topic. I actually was questioning the sentence pattern for present perfect tense.    He has given up. (used the past participle)    I have seen you.  (used the past participle) Ciao, IF Intelligent Freak Verbs, Tenses, Present Perfect
