I HAVE vs. I HAVE GOT vs. I GOT vs. I GOTTA....

have | have got | got | gotta | English grammar

Hi Everyone!

In this lesson, we are going to look at some grammar which I think is pretty...special. Why is this grammar so special? Because there are 3 different ways to say the same thing. Yes, one of the forms is incorrect, but you WILL hear native English speakers using it.

Can you give me any examples using today's grammar in the comments below? What's something you HAVE TO do later?

After dinner, my father has to watch a soccer game, my mom’s got to do laundry, my sister got to finish her homework, and I've gotta watch Arnel's channel to learn English.

Cheers! 😊🌺

You've cleared up all my doubts in a 10-minute video. Thanks a million! Now, I have to put this content into practice 😊

2:49 A good reminder to use THE with the word "present" (in this case). The word Present can be a verb and a noun and has at least 3 different meanings.

[alejandrorosas]

Thanks Arnel, I would say that I learned English from a lot of British songs, it was confusing when I try to use have/got, I talk with american people often, now it is clear. You are the best!!!

[elzarakavlyametova]

You are a professional teacher. With you none of the topics are confused. Thank you so much again and again for your informative lesson! 👏

[juanboy]

I had always wondered about the use of those so confusing ways (for me) of saying the same thing: have/have got/got.
Even though I asked several people about that topic, I never got such a complete answer like the one you gifted us in your extraordinary video.
Now, thanks to your high level explanations on English grammar, I feel more confident because my English has gotten better.
Of course I will subscribe. Many thanks!! (In case you wonder, my native language is Spanish).

[hiteshsatpute]

Clear explanations, engaging visuals, and interactive learning.

[ifantasy]

Until 10 minutes ago I used to get so confused every time I had to choose between "I've got/I got/I have" in a conversation. It made me frustrated to the point I caught myself trying to avoid using it at all.
Thank you so much for making this video! You're the teacher I wish I had when I first started to study English.

[xabiermartinez]

Successful presentations don't just happen !! Thanks, Arnel, for your friendly and efficient work !!!
