When to use got vs have-help needed

I do not understand when it is right to use the verb 'got' and the verb 'have'. I always make mistakes but do not understand. Is 'got' only for past tense uses? To say," I got an A ' is proper but to say "I got my son with me" is not. Why?

Thank you, Jorge Luis

I'm not sure if I send this correctly or not so excuse my errors. I have extras questions on this topic. Does it matter if I use "got" with contractions of have like "I've" and then it is proper?

It's not my real name Jorge Luis... ... ... I do have a cat called Django, but her English is pretty poor so she doesn't do many postings.

I don't think I've ever come across
