| Apr 4, 2019 at 9:54 | comment | added | GKK | I'd like to know what these sentences you wrote to mean to clarify my understanding on your answer. 1) I got to stay in bed this morning. 2) I get to finish work early. 3) I get to go on the train. I think these would mean like 1) I would stay in bed this morning. 2) I will finish work early. 3) I will go on the train. Thank you very much for your help. | |

| Apr 4, 2019 at 9:36 | comment | added | GKK | I'm worrying if you confused "get to do" with "got to do" of "have got to do". Didn't you? This question is on "get to do". Seeing your answer, you must not have confused them, but I just want to check it over. | |
