Anonymous When do I use "have GOT" and when do I use only "have" ? I try not to use the two words together. There is no difference in meaning between 'have' and 'have got'.

On a related note, "have gotten" is the same as "have been" unless followed by "sick" or a disease.

Hi Anon

"Have" and "have got" are interchangeable when used with a meaning similar to "possess" or "own" in the present tense. I would say that the primary "difference" in this case would be that "have/has got" might sometimes sound more informal than "have".
