you`ve got something or you got something? I have some questions.
What the difference you`ve got something between you got something?
When to use have got and got?
I don`t know how to use have got and just got .
Thank you.

Re: you`ve got something or you got something? Maybe this is an AmE or an informal dialect thing, but I could see someone asking "You got a car?" meaning "Do you have a car?" Nothing to do with acquiring/obtaining a car.

Re: you`ve got something or you got something? No, it's widely used in BrE too. I don't like it much myself, though. Originally Posted by siesta_0425
