***** Usage notes
- The meaning "to have" is found only in perfect tenses but has present meaning; hence "I have got" has the same meaning as "I have". (Sometimes the form _had got_ is used to mean "had", as in "Luckily, I was able to start a fire because I had got a lighter in my pocket".) In speech and in all except formal writing, the word "have" is normally reduced to /v/ and spelled "-'ve" or dropped entirely (e.g. "I got a God-fearing woman, one I can easily afford", 吴语: Slow Train (Bob Dylan song) , Bob Dylan), leading to nonstandard usages such as "he gots" = "he has", "he doesn't got" = "he doesn't have".
- Some dialects (e.g. American English dialects) use both _gotten_ and _got_ as past participles, while others (e.g. dialects of Southern England) use only got . In dialects that use both, _got_ is used for the meanings "to have" and "to have to", while _gotten_ is used for all other meanings. [1] This allows for a distinction between "I've gotten a ticket" (I have received or obtained a ticket) vs. "I've got a ticket" (I currently have a ticket).
- Note that this does not apply to the related verbs [en] , [en] , whose past participles are always _begotten_ , _forgotten_ .
- "get" is one of the most common verbs in English, and the many meanings may be confusing for language learners. The following table indicates some of the different constructions found, along with the most common meanings of each:
