I need to emphasise that the verb "get" has its past tense as "got" and the past participle is also "got".
Say "get/got/got
e.g. I have got my money from him.
Have they got it?
I hope I have got the answer?
I make it bold to say that I will ring and mark you wrong in any exam if I have you say/write "gotten", as past participle of"get.
May I emphasise that "gotten" is only American, and not British.
TELAWAA subscribes to British English, not Marivcan English.
The reason is because the Britons are the original native speakers of English. Americans copy from BrE, just the same way we have Nigerian English.
I hope to emphasise this more, someday.
