Have to or have got to

I wanna ask something. Are these different?

"Have to and have got to."

example: I have to stay or i have got to stay.

There's not much difference between them. To me, "I've got to stay" is a bit more informal. I do want to point out something else.

  • We might say " wanna ," but it gives a very bad impression in writing.
  • If you want to be taken seriously, use "want to" in writing instead.

anonymousI have to stay or I have got to stay.

Both are correct. The second one is in a more casual, everyday style which is more suitable for conversation than for writing.
