§Structures (grammar patterns) 5
gotta + base verb
Gotta is the spoken short form of got to. It means must or have to, and is followed by the base form of a verb.
'Gotta' बोलचाल में 'got to' का संक्षिप्त रूप है। इसका अर्थ must या have to है और इसके बाद verb का base form आता है।
- I gotta go now.
- We gotta finish this project tonight.
gotta = have got a
In very informal speech, gotta can also stand for got a, as in I gotta headache. This is rare in writing.
बहुत अनौपचारिक बोलचाल में 'gotta' का अर्थ 'got a' भी हो सकता है। लिखित भाषा में यह दुर्लभ है।
- I gotta cold, so I'm staying home.
subject + gotta (no auto change)
Gotta does not change for person or tense: I gotta, he gotta, they gotta. In careful English the full form has to be used instead.
'Gotta' person या tense के अनुसार नहीं बदलता। सावधान अंग्रेज़ी में इसकी जगह पूरा रूप प्रयोग करें।

written form: have got to
Gotta comes from have got to. Write have got to or has got to in careful English.
