Grammar

have/have got/got and can/could

Is it correct "I have got a car" , "I have a car" and "I got a car". What`s the difference?

What is better (in the meaning- nice) to say: "Can I ask one question?" or "Could I ask one question?"

I'd put it this way: I have got a car is fine but in the US the preferred is contracted form--I' ve got a car. Sometimes Americans leave out 'have' and say: I got a car. To crown it all, 'I Have got a car", " I have a car", 'I got a car''( in the meaning of possession) are similar.

It is politer to say "Could I ask one question?". Even better, "May I ask one question?"
