- have got的用法:与have搭配使用时,got可在某些句子中省略,仍使整句的意思不变。这个用法常见于口语。I have got to do it. It has got to be done.注意的是,这里英美两国用的都是have got,不是have gotten。have got不可用在助动词后面。have got从语法的角度上来说属于完成时态结构,因此got不可以再加完成时,不能以have had got或had had got等形式出现。有些表达方式中,have后是绝不可加got的,如have a bath,have a chat,have a look,have a smoke等。不定式had got to ...使用不普遍,用在疑问句中时更不常见,应尽量避免使用。有时候,这个词组中have作助动词,got作过去分词。口语形式中常将have省略,留got。
I have got a new cap.
I have got a cold.
I may have got to do it.
句中的got应去掉。
I have got a new cap.
