“I’ve got” vs. “I have”
@Jim - Sorry, dude - but where did you learn English?
"have (present tense) and got (past tense) do not belong next to each other
period"
That is sooooo incorrect.
Got is the 3rd form of get (get, got, got) in British English (aka world English)
'Have got' is actually the present perfect. It explains that I got something in the past and I still have it now.
End of - Mike drop!
