Hi folks.

Can I ask: Is it better to say “We’ve got to get going” or “ We have to get going”?

I hear the former in conversation and it slightly irks me. I think it’s because of the redundancy (?) in the sentence. Which is better, grammatically? The latter feels cleaner. Am I wrong?

    IME saying “have got” like that is a very UK thing.

      IME? Is that “In My Experience”? Don’t think I’ve seen that one before, but might need to put it in the pocket.
