Etymology 1
editVerb
editgot (third-person singular simple present got or (nonstandard) gots, no present participle, simple past (by suppletion) had, no past participle)
- Expressing obligation; used with have.
- I can’t go out tonight: I’ve got to study for my exams.
- (colloquial, with to) Must; have/has (to).
- I got to go study.
- 1971, Carole King, Gerry Goffin (lyrics and music), “Smackwater Jack”, in Tapestry, Ode Records:
- We got to ride to clean up the streets / For our wives and our daughters!
- (colloquial, regional or nonstandard) Have/has.
- They got a new car.
- He got a lot of nerve.
Verb
editgot
- simple past of get
- We got the last bus home.
- past participle of get
- By that time we’d got very cold.
- I’ve got two children.
- How many children have you got?
Usage notes
edit- (expressing obligation): "Got" is a filler word in the following example with no obvious grammatical or semantic function: "I've got to study for my exams" has the same meaning as "I have to study for my exams". It is often stressed in speech: "You've just got to see this."
- (have): In nonstandard speech, "got" may be reinterpreted as a regular present tense, so that the form gots appears in the third-person singular present, e.g. She gots a red bike.
- (past participle of get): The second sentence literally means "At some time in the past I got (obtained) two children", but in "have got" constructions like this, where "got" is used in the sense of "obtained", the sense of obtaining is lost, becoming merely one of possessing, and the sentence is in effect just a more colloquial way of saying "I have two children". Similarly, the third sentence is just a more colloquial way of saying "How many children do you have?"
- (past participle of get): The American and archaic British usage of the verb conjugates as get-got-gotten or as get-got-got depending on the meaning (see Usage Notes on "get" for details), whereas the modern British usage of the verb has mostly lost this distinction and conjugates as get-got-got in most cases.
