| as far as I know,"gotten" is the past participle of the word "get" in American English. According to the following english usage pattern,past participle is used after "HAVE", I 've finished all my assigments already. Subject + HAVE + past participle I do hear American say both"'ve got" and "'ve gotten" in their conversation,can u pls tell me the correct way to use them in AE?or are their meaning the same? And,let say,if u r at a restaurant with 2 other friends,a waiter asks u how many people u have. which of the following is the correct one to reply?and why? (1) We've got three. (2) We got three. (3) We've gotten three. (sounds a little odd to me) (4) We have three. Thank you! |
