I wanted to express a similar meaning to the one of this sentence: I haven't get it done yet, but at the same time, I wanted to emphasise that I had enough time, but was, say, too lazy to complete this thing.

So, is the sentence

"I haven't got to do it yet."

grammatically correct and does it fit the context I provided?

I would say

I haven't gotten it done yet.

which is often used if I have started on it but not finished. I might also also say simply

I haven't done it yet.

or

I haven't gotten around to it yet.

which implies that I have been doing other things instead and have not yet started on it. It was too low in my priorities.

  • I don't know why but I really thought I would see a sentence with the phrase get to somewhere there... Doesn't it mean to start/ take up something? Please correct me if I'm totally off, I'll be really grateful!

  • @Aduku - You might be thinking of I haven't gotten to do it yet, which means something like "I have not had the chance to do it."

  • @Aduku I have not gotten to it yet is essentially the same as I have not gotten around to it yet, and is likely what you are thinking about.
