got and do mixed together

[ostap77]

"I've got a new car. -You do?"

Can we say " You've got a new car, don't you?"?

OR

Can we mix do and "get+past participle"?

"You got told they're coming over for diner, didn't you?''?

"I've got a new car. -You [STRIKE]do[/STRIKE]?" You have? in standard BrE.

" You've got a new car, [STRIKE]don't[/STRIKE] haven't you?"?


"You got told they're coming over for dinner, didn't you?''? Fine. 'haven't' would be wrong here.

These are fine in my dialect:

1. I've got a new car. -You do? :tick:
2. You've got a new car, don't you? :tick:
3. You got told they're coming over for dinner, didn't you? :tick:

These are fine in my dialect:I've got a new car. -You do? :tick:

1. You've got a new car, don't you? :tick:
2. You got told they're coming over for dinner, didn't you? :tick:

Are they fine as they are, or just in the spoken form that omits 'have'? -

You got a new car, don't you?

If they are fine in the form with have, is this acceptable formal English in your dialect?

 

[lauralie2]

Are they fine as they are,...

They are fine as they are, with -'ve, not 'have'.

 

[bhaisahab]

They are fine as they are, with -'ve, not 'have'.

Surely -'ve is "have", abbreviated.

Surely -'ve is "have", abbreviated.

You would expect that, yes, but in this case, no. The contracted form (-'ve) behaves differently:

1. You have got a new car, don't you? :cross:
2. You've got a new car, don't you? :tick:
3. You got a new car, don't you? :tick:

OK, but that doesn't apply in my dialect. "You've got a new car, haven't you?" is correct in BrE, "You've got a new car, don't you?" would be considered incorrect.

"You got told they're coming over for diner, didn't you?''?

I can't imagine anyone saying this.
"You've been told...haven't you?" or "You were told...weren't you" work better for me.

"You've been told...haven't you?" or "You were told...weren't you" work better for me.

For me too, but I have heard 'you got told'.

The 'get' passive seems to be more common with rather more energetic verbs (we got beaten last weak), but is possible with other verbs.

I believe that was covered in Post #2. ;-)
