3. I have an appointment with a doctor at four o' clock.

" It’s informal to use ‘got’ alone. " It the present perfect of ‘have got’. I think ‘'ve got’ is fine in everyday conversation.

Here we would probably say "I have a four o'clock appointment with the hairdresser." or "I got a four o'clock appointment with the hairdresser." It’s informal to use ‘got’ alone. ‘Got’ could mean ‘made’ or ‘booked’ as in "I've made (booked) a four o'clock appointment with the hairdresser." It the present perfect of ‘have got’.

I think ‘'ve got’ is fine in everyday conversation. It’s less

... with the hairdresser

Personally, I never say "I got" unless I am singing along with Gene Kelly.
