To me, an American, there is a difference between "they have to" and "they have got to." It's a difference of emphasis. "They have to" is generally a simole statement of fact. An "oh by the way" kind of thing. It's like, did you know that that? But "they have got to" would be much more emphatic. It's more like, there is no way around it, they absolutely must do it.
Yay!! I am 71 and at 13, my first English teacher at high school taught me the primitive forms of verbs get, got, got. Much, much later I came across with gotten and got confused. Only now, thanks to you, I can understand what it is all about 😅 Thank you so much, you're the best ❤❤❤
Thanks, Greg. You shed a bit of a light to a topic I was wondering about. But using "have" and "got" in meaning of "must" is still obscure to me. Sometimes there is a trace of "have" in contraction. E.g. "It's got to be real", which I believe means "It must be real". And sometimes there is no trace of "have" at all. E.g. "I gotta run", which I believe means "I have no time, I must go". If you explain this point It would be great.
I'm American. And what you're explaining is somewhat correct. When we say, "he has got to", or "I have got to", it means we're putting more emphasis in our expression. But it's not used very often. Instead of saying, "They have just gotten home.", I say, "They just got home." Also, there's a northern accent and a southern drawl in the US. Southern people are sometimes hard to understand because of how they talk and their idioms. It can get complicated.
😊 Great lesson, Greg. I have the same doubts and this was a good explanation on how to use have got, get and gotten. As for the test I have one wrong. (Last question) Regards from NY
Teacher Greg, thank you for your every lesson that gives us new knowledge of English language. I have become quite good at English grammar thanks to your lessons.
Hi Greg, as I understand `have got` is not the Present Perfect form if we talk about possession, however it looks like it was in the distant past? How did this expression actually come about?
Hi Greg, amazing video like every time (thank you I've learned a lot) but I have a question, when to use "what did happen" and when to use "what happened?" Is "what happened?" correct at all? (thanks you're amazing :) )
5/5 at last I could understand why Birtish people don't use "gotten", thanks a lot Greg, you and Lucy rock in British English!!!! Hello from Mexico 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇬🇧🇬🇧
Hi Greg, this is Arjun from India. You made a video about gerunds that were great. So could you please consider my request to make a video of noun+adjective (end with 'ed' and normal) Ex: leave the door closed. Comb your hair flat. I would like you to make a work sheet. Thank you.
GOTTEN (chiefly Canada, US, Ireland, Scotland, Northern English, or archaic) past participle of get The American and archaic or regional British usage of the verb conjugates as get-got-gotten or as get-got-got depending on the meaning, whereas the modern general British usage of the verb has largely lost this distinction and normally conjugates as get-got-got in most cases except, sometimes, where the speaker wants to emphasise getting something. Gotten has also survived in adjectives, especially in ill-gotten gains. There is an increased usage of gotten in the UK (specifically England), which may be due to influence from American films and increased access to American programs in Britain. However, it is still less common than the get-got-got conjugation.
I have got the book means I have the book but I want to emphasise I bought the book (past perfect) isn't I have gotten the book is more clear in this case?
I noticed another BE/AE difference in one of your examples, namely "The family next door don't have any pets". An American would probably say "The family next door doesn't have". I've noticed that Britts often treat collective nouns as plural (e.g. a family consists of several individuals) whereas Americans go with singular, which somehow feels more grammatically correct to me. "The team has played really well vs. The team have played very well, The band has good songs vs. The band have good songs". To use the plural verb in these examples sounds just so wrong to me. 😅 Have you perhaps made a video about this, collective nouns, that is?
I agree…saying “the family” as a plural is very different. It “hits my ears” strangely. Say for example, if a child were to say “the family” and use it as a plural we would correct his/her/their mistake. It’s almost like the same discussions on another video regarding using “hospital” instead of “the hospital.”
Hey there, I liked the video you did with Portuguese with Leo, and I think you do a great job at explaining the English language. But what really turns me off watching this (for me) first video of yours, is that with every text or image that appears, there is an annoying popping sound. I would either use a more subtle sound, or even better, no sound at all. I wanted to leave this feedback because I think it is a shame you put undoublty a lot of work in creating these videos, but then the overkill on popping sounds makes it annoying and cheesy. Keep up the great work.

Greg, all your lessons are very useful! I got all the questions correctly
You're a great teacher thank you
Very useful video. Please explain how to use "Having". Thanks!😊

As for the test I have one wrong. (Last question)

Thank you for explaining that.
great lesson! 🤩
Hi Greg, as I understand `have got` is not the Present Perfect form if we talk about possession, however it looks like it was in the distant past? How did this expression actually come about?
You explained it very well .
Thank you very much Greg! 👏🏼
Nailed it ... thanks to Greg and have a nice day
You too!
You explained it so well that I got all the questions correct! 😉
Great job!
Thank YOU! 🥰
Hello teacher I just want to thank you so much❤☺️🥰
You're welcome! 😀
❤ Thank you ❤
As for Greg, not much to say: simply the best !
Thanks Edith 😀
Great explanation, thank you!
I've for a long time wondered about why British English dropped the 'gotten'. British English still retains 'forgotten' and 'begotten'.
Nailed it.
Greg, thank you for this explanation. It was great! Now I know the difference but l prefer British variant.
Nice explanation ❤
Thank you 🙂
Hi Greg, amazing video like every time (thank you I've learned a lot) but I have a question, when to use "what did happen" and when to use "what happened?" Is "what happened?" correct at all? (thanks you're amazing :) )
Yes, "what happened" is correct. "What did happen" is not.
Thanks a lot ❤
You're welcome 😊
Let's cross fingers for all British be able to speak same clear way like our mentor !
Answer accuracy: 100%. Thank you.
Hi I'm Luize Liga from Latvia, l write from Daddy account. I'm 8 y old. You are my best teacher ever. 😊

Дякую!:) you are the best!)

Sir kindly make differentiate b/w did you inform the students or have you informed students which tense is accurate
Hi Greg, this is Arjun from India. You made a video about gerunds that were great.
So could you please consider my request to make a video of noun+adjective (end with 'ed' and normal)
Ex: leave the door closed.
Comb your hair flat. I would like you to make a work sheet.
Thank you.
One mistake 😮 in question 4. I thought we never use gotten in modern British English
All correct
You`re the best, Greg. XD
I have got a strong aha-effect 😄 … thank you, dear Greg!
Can you make a video talking about the "th" pronunciation PLEASE

Hi Greg. I've got five out of five. Thank you for this funny lesson. Greetings from Galicia.
What about forgotten?
I was thought American English in school so I have to use "have gotten" and appropriately.
Why not to ignore "get" used in possession context? Just ignore "get" in that case and don't bother...
I haven't got any problem now in understanding this topic. Thanks a lot.
Oh how much i love this teacher thank u dude from palestine ❤
My thoughts are with you and your people! 💙
@@EnglishWithGreg thats so nicee of uu🥺🤍
@@Dark-fv6do🙏
Treasures that are wickedly gotten, profit no one.
All are correct 5/5
I got full marks!! Yay!
I failed at number 4, I wrotte: I hasn´t got, instead, I haven´t gotten. Thank you.
I have got the book means I have the book but I want to emphasise I bought the book (past perfect) isn't I have gotten the book is more clear in this case?

I failed n. 4 because I was thinking about British language. In this case, none would be correct? Thanks.
Got to got to ...🎵🎶
Congratulations.
In British English we haven't said gotten since Queen Anne died.
Yay..i could answer them all correctly.😊
All my answers were correct, but I stopped the video! Thank you for your email!
🙏🙏
In the sentence: "the family next door haven't got any pets", wouldnt it be correct to say: the family next door hasn't got any pets
👍
After this lesson I have got a pain in my brain
The only one I got wrong was #3. I guess that pretty good for someone who's from America. 😂😂😂
I have scored four out of five questions.
I had one answer which was wrong because I didn't know that in the quiz we use gotten...I thought its an English quiz not an American. haha
Gosh there are so many English speakers I know who still get this one wrong! Haha
Had gotten.
I guessed all 5

Hey, thanks for the feedback. Don’t worry… I’ve changed style since this video, and the new ones don’t have this popping sound. 😉
We as indian .. recommend by teacher learn British english
I have got the score of 4/5. I made a mistake in the 4th question.
I got 5/5
I prefer just "do you have" instead
I have got only four correct.And also thanks for your looking good 👍😊 appearance.
Score: 5
... but I haven't got the email with your PDF yet... 😏 (it's true!!)
But, gotten is nicer 😌💅
Hello Greg: I got 3. and 5. wrong
