Grammar

have to/have got to/ got to (e.g. I got to do), gotta (I gotta go)

Hello! What is the difference between "to have to do smth" and "have got to do smth"?
And what is "got to to smth" and "gotta do smth"? Is it grammatically right or not? Because I heard this forms only in songs. =)

Hi, In my opinion: Have to do sth and Have got to do sth somehow have the same meaning. We use them to express our necessity in the present or the near future. Have got to do sth is used especially in British English.
