oh good the teacher has emailed me and it is not the teacher who knows me, so I am going to have to explain both the pronouns and the 'unfortunately I have speech patterns from the sunny summer of 1203 and writing patterns from the godawful winters of idk the 16th century mostly. what do you mean no one writes it tvá anymore, how do you make it rhyme with þá??' thing. in icelandic.

by far my favourite thing about teaching teenagers is when i explain something about how language works and they say it's just stupid and sometimes i have no choice but to agree

weird how have got seems like it should be a past form of "get" but in american english is actually equivalent to "have" in the present tense:
what have you got there? -> what do you have there? i've got rhythm -> i have rhythm you don't know what you've got till it's gone -> you don't know what you have till it's gone
while got by itself can be either a past form of "get" or a shortened form of have got with the "have" dropped:
i got you, babe -> i've got you -> i have you i got you! -> what you say once you've caught a toddler you were chasing around saying "i'm gonna get you!" to
so got is a form of the verb "get", but when used as a past participle, it's a form of the verb "have". the past participle of "get" is not got but rather gotten (in american english). and got can only be used as a particle in have got; had got is generally not used (again, in american english; i know it works differently in, e.g., some uk dialects). so:
got: simple past of get, or a shortening of have got (present of have)
have got: present of have
have gotten: present perfect of get
*had got
had gotten: past perfect of get
i'm not sure entirely how this came to be, but i wonder if it's because of the get=acquire and have=possess senses; that is, once you acquire something, you now possess it, so to get something in the past is to have it in the present. but it's complicated by the fact that the have in have got is functioning as an auxiliary used to form a compound verb tense, rather than as the "have" that means "possess", even though the full phrase have got is equivalent to the "have" that means "possess".
#syntax#my posts#'got' feels like...the inverse of an auxiliary#you put an auxiliary next to a verb to specify a nuance (in tense or mood or whatever) about that verb#whereas you put an auxiliary next to 'got' & suddenly it's 'got' that's doing something to the auxiliary! uno reverse!#what's this? can it be...? i don't believe it! got is doing it! it's converting the auxiliary to a main verb!#and then even if the auxiliary is like 'hmm. don't like that' and leaves...#'got' continues to stand in for the main verb it turned the auxiliary into. all by itself!!! and in a different tense!!!!#and this is only possible because 1) the word 'have' is both an auxiliary and a regular degular verb#(not the case with all auxiliaries!)#and 2) one of the meanings of the regular degular verb 'have' semantically describes the state of the subject and object#once the subject 'gets' the object. so 'have' essentially corresponds to the future of 'get'#i'm trying to think of other verbs that have that relationship. live and die maybe?#die is the future of live and live is the past of die. if you die that means you once lived. if you have something that means you got it#but it doesn't really work because living isn't a one-time event the way acquiring is. and it's not as directly causal#maybe learn and know? if you use learn in the past tense it pretty much corresponds to know in the present tense#(though you can forget things you learned. but you can also lose things you acquired so i think that still works)#so let's say 'know' is an auxiliary. maybe with a meaning similar to 'can' but for the purposes of this thought experiment#let's say it functions like 'have' or 'be' in that the main verb is a participle rather than an infinitive#so 'i know swum' would essentially mean the same thing as 'i can swim'. i know swum = i learned to swim#but 'i know learned' would just mean 'i know'. and you could also drop the 'know' & just say 'i learned' & it would also mean 'i know'#idk idk idk! much 2 think about!!!!!
