Tomorrow I will have my Japanese test. I haven't finished all the mock exercises yet but I don't care now. To relax my mind, I've been playing some Japanese language online games for fun today. After the test, my mum and I will go to a Christmas market. I hope I can get some delicious food.

Why did you use “being”?

Thank you! That was a typo. I've now fixed it.

I've got my Japanese test tomorrow

I have a question about the use of “have got”. Is the phrase can be used in both the present tense and the future tense?

Can I use it in the past tense?
“I’ve got a cake from Mary yesterday”
