  • Hey, guys. I'm Alex. Thanks for clicking, and welcome to this lesson on "have got".

  • So, in English, any time you have the verb: "get" in a lesson, you know you're in for

  • a bit of a ride because there are so many different ways to use "get" in English.

  • Today, we're looking at "get" when combined with the verb "have". So let's look at a number

  • of ways we can use "have got" in English.

  • First of all, just so you know, "have got" can be used as an emphatic form of "have to"

  • which we already use for obligation. So, the full expression is actually: "Have got to"

  • which is the same meaning as: "Have to", but it sounds a little more emphatic; it gives

  • you a little more emphasis, a little more punch. So you could say: "I have to see that

  • movie. Like, oh my goodness, I have to." It's almost an obligation. If you want to make

  • it sound stronger, you can say: "I have got to... I've got to see that movie." And you

  • can see here the construction is: "Have got to" and you always follow it with a base verb.

  • Okay? So it's not: "I have got to seeing". "I've got to see", "I've got to make", "I've

  • got to do", "I've got to play". Okay? So, instead of just saying: "Have to" for obligation,

  • you can also use: "Have got to" which just makes it stronger.

  • Now, the thing about "have got to" is that there are no past or future forms for this.

  • You cannot say: "I had got to see that movie." You cannot say: "I will have got to see that

  • movie." You can only say, in the present: "I have got to". If you want to speak about

  • obligation in the past, you can simply use: "Had to". Okay? So you can say: "I had to

  • call my mom.", "I had to leave early." Not: "I had got to leave early" which doesn't make

  • sense grammatically. Same with "will" or "going to" for the future, you can say: "You will

  • have to do something." Not: "You will have got to." It sounds way too full in a native

  • speaker's mouth. Sorry for that sentence; I don't know why I said that.

  • Now, there's also really no negative form of: "Have got to". You can't say: "I don't

  • have got to call my mother today." You can say: "I don't have to". However, in slang,

  • in speaking, we do say: "Don't gotta". So: "You don't gotta do that!" Which basically

  • means: "You don't have to." So, again, the correct form is, you know: "You don't" - don't?

  • - "You don't have to do that." If you want to sound a little bit more I guess cool or

  • hip, you can say: "I don't gotta", "She doesn't gotta", "We don't gotta", which just means:

  • "We don't have to", "I don't have to", "She doesn't have to". Okay? It's not an obligation.

  • Number two. "Have got" is also another form of the possessive: "have". So you could say,

  • you know: "She has a big family.", "She has a big family." However, you can also say:

  • "She has got a big family." Which has the exact same meaning. Okay? So you can say,

  • you know: "I have a computer." Or: "I have got a computer.", "I've got a smartphone.",

  • "I've got a nice camera.", "I've got", whatever it is you possess. Okay?

  • Now, finally, "have got", or: "had got", or: "will have got". Well, first of all, those

  • are the American forms because "got" is, you know, not really correctly formed in the American

  • English. They use the term: "got". The past participle is actually: "gotten". Getting

  • back to this though. You can use: "Have gotten" or "have got", "had gotten" or "had got",

  • "will have got", "will have gotten" in the present, past, and future perfect grammar

  • forms. So in this situation, it often means to get or to receive something.

  • Let's look at the example sentence and I think it will be clearer for you guys. So here,

  • we have: "I had got a bad grade."

  • Which means, number one: "I had got", very American, "I had got a bad grade." The British

  • form is: "gotten", "I had gotten a bad grade." Which just means I had received a bad grade.

  • Okay? On my test. And, again, you can do this with present perfect: "I have gotten a bad

  • grade.", "I have received", and you can also use it with the future perfect forms as well.

  • Clear? Yeah? Have you got it? Okay.

  • If you want to test your understanding of the various ways to use "have got", you can

  • check out the quiz on www.engvid.com as always. And please, don't forget: subscribe to my

  • YouTube channel, and I'll see you guys next time. Take care.
