Got
Hi.
"So it's interesting to hear another really huge sauropod has been discovered, but ideally we'd need much more material of these supersized animals to determine just how big they really got." [From the BBC website.]
What is the exact meaning of the past "got" in the sentence? Can I substitute it with the past "were" here?
Thank you.
