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.

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".
