Feels like it should be "It's gotten better now" or "It's getting better now, but I don't understand why that is. corrected the original sentence from "It wasn't going well at first, but it got better now." to "It wasn't going well at first, but it's got better now." (It was a typo)

2011年3月27日 · Wow! The admonition "don't use got" has gotten a lot broader than I remember it being. When I was young, what overly-picky grammarians complained about was using "got" (or "have got") to mean "possess" rather than "acquire" or "become". This seems to have been a feature of colloquial American speech for quite a while. I've got a mule; her name ...

2019年9月24日 · The have to meaning, especially when got is not preceded by have, is typically used in spoken speech in very informal contexts (if it appears in writing, it is normally just a transcription of something spoken). In such spoken contexts, this got to is typically pronounced as gotta, and in writing it is often transcribed as such (see e.g. here).

I have heard instances of how "gotten lost" is hated by the British. My copy of Grammar by Wren & Martin also lists "got" as the past participle of get. Base Form: Get. Past Tense: Got. Past Participle: Got. However, as Andrew Leach comments, I have seen many examples of the same in American English. If I were I you, I would simply say:

2012年7月6日 · First of all, It's usually "I've got it". But that's just nit-picking. Native English speakers usually use either interchangeably to mean the same thing, that is, they understand now. There doesn't seem to be a difference in meaning or usage due to the different verb tense. They also sometimes add "now": "I've got it now" or "I get it now".

2019年12月7日 · Have got for have is very common in informal speech in British English, but frowned on in correct speech (as James says above). So, if you are having a casual conversation with a friend, it's fine to say "She's got beautiful eyes", but you don't need to use got. –

2019年11月6日 · Unfortunately, "Got" has come to be synonymous with "have/has", notably in the name of TV programs such as America's Got Talent or Britain's Got Talent, etc. I find these particularly appalling because the "'s" is itself short for "has" (and should be used with "gotten" rather than "got"), so they're saying "X has got talent" to mean "X has ...

2019年12月20日 · @user067531 It's one of the basic research tools that users are expected to consult before asking a question on ELU. It's the go-to resource for phrase meanings and etymologies. // ELL was established especially with second-language users in mind, so that basic / easily (for linguists, more advanced users) researched questions would not appear ...

2021年12月10日 · It's got a nice ring to it." Do we say it when something rhymes? When I looked up 'has a ring to it,' the meanings I found were- 'to seem or sound like something you have heard or seen before' and 'to sound appealing.'

Consider a list of a day's events. "I got woken up so I got out of bed. I got dressed and got myself tidy, and I got my bed made. Then when I got downstairs I found younger brother had got my chair. For breakfast we got porridge, then that got followed by smoked haddock. Mum got the dishes done and we got ready to go to school. When we got ...
