Hi, Here is a simpler version: When the verb "(to) have" is used to express possession, it is often followed by "got". To express ~ to show Possession ~ the state of having or owning something For example, if I want to say that I have a new computer, I can say, "I have a new computer" or "I have got a new computer". Both mean the same.

- Sometimes I hear someone say, "I have a new computer"; at other times I hear someone say, "I have got a new computer".
- That's just two ways to say the same thing.
