GOT

[Anonymous]

Hi
Can you elaborate the exact uses of 'GOT TO' or whatever else?

FOR EXAMPLE:

1. He 'GOT' to know the truth. ( Here, I have replaced CAME by GOT.)
2. I have 'GOT' to go now. ( What 'GOT' implies here?).

(Yes, in this sentence "got to" means "came to know," or "arrived at the truth").

2. I have 'GOT' to go now. ( What 'GOT' implies here?). ("Got" has the same meaning as "have" in "have to" meaning "must," or "it is necessary."
I've/I have got to go = I have to go. It seems redundant to use both "have" and got," but it's very common).
