Explanations

In British English we often use HAVE GOT to express possession:


I have a car = I've got a car


In American English they also use HAVE GOT... but without HAVE:


I have a car = I've got a car = I got a car (or: I gotta car)


forms:


I got a car
I don't have a car (or: I ain't got a car)
Do you have a car?
