Proper usage
Which is correct? You've got to go or you have to go. Do you ever use have and got together in a sentence?
Top answer
Both "have to" and "have got to" are auxiliaries to express compulsion or necessity, but "have got to" expresses compulsion felt to be imposed by or upon the speaker: I've got to get a new coat (a stronger form of "I must get a coat"). Hope this helps!
