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?
I would tend to say, “We have got to go!” after I’ve already said, “we need to leave,” several times with no response.
Stand up, slap your knees and say “welp”. It’s a universal signal as far as I can tell. Unignorable.
