| have got to |
(informal) "Have got to" means "have to" or "must." In the same way, "has got to" means "has to" or "must." If you say you "have got to" go home now, you are saying that you "have to" go home now. "Have got to" means "have to" but you can only use it when you're talking about the present. There is no past tense form of "have got to." "Have got to" is often abbreviated, as in "We've got to get our tickets" or "He's got to study for the test." Sometimes we even drop the "have" part and we just say "gotta" instead of "have got to." |
