So there's no abbreviation in " gotta" it just depends on the sentence itself right?

Hi,

It's a way to say the sentence.
We say 'gotta' a lot when speaking fast. but we don't normally write it as 'gotta'.

Yes, seriously. And learners sound rather ridiculous when they write it. 'Gotta', 'wanna' and several other forms are not words—just check your dictionary: they are attempts at transcribing native pronunciation in conversation.
