Resolved Question

Show me another »

Can you help me with this problem ?

Hi everyone sorry for bothering you. how are you all. I've got a little bit confusion in English not vary big for you for me so here it is

I want to know about this sentences and expressions what does that mean
(holy cow) (holy crap) (here we go) (there you go) i asked about this because last night i was watching a movie there someone used this expressions in conversation i got confused because i've never heard that kind of sentences before it too confusing so please help me and i have a another question my second question is about word "gotta" i know we use wanna at place of want to and gonna at place of going to

But i don't know about gotta my teacher told me that it is used at place of "have to" is it right & my other friend told me that gotta mean "have got to" & my elder brother told me that gotta mean is "got to" at last today's morning i searched on net there was a website there were some details about it there it's the detail below

(Gotta is used in a similar way to gonna and wanna, in this case to show the conversational pronunciation of have got to, or as informal alternatives to have to or must.

It's pretty confusing in which context i should use word gotta if you could tell me about it. It would be awesome for me because i really want to know about it & one more thing i'm giving some sentences that related to gotta

I Gotta Go (Is It Mean) I Have To Go
You Gotta Be Kidding Me (Is It Mean) You Are Kidding Me
I Gotta Say Something (Is It Mean) I Got To Say Something

It's confusing so please tell me don't try to make fun of me sorry for my all mistakes i'm not quite perfect in English thanks for answering.
THANKS A LOT

holy cow and holy crap are just exclamations, like "oh my gosh!" or other 4 letter words. Holy cow is the cleaner of the two.

Here we go - It could mean anything about starting something. Not necessarily going anywhere, just starting something fun or new or exciting.

There you go - has different nuances. It depends on the tone of voiceyou say it in. It can mean - you're right. Another nuance is when a person does some sort of irritating behavior in front of you, and you say to them - there you go - meaning, you're doing THAT sort of behavior again. Like someone picking his nose, or a person who cries a lot.

There you go can also be an exclamation when someone leaves for a long trip or adventure.

    im confused... i think gotta is got to or have to, not have got to. that doesnt sound as good. mayb also going to. because i believ "got" is in the past ense but gotta referes to the future... so it mite be going to.

    What you call "conversational pronunciation" is incorrect pronunciation.
    "gonna" means "going to" - say "going to"
    "wanna" means "want to" - say "want to"
    "gotta" means "got to" - say "got to" (with an auxiliary verb.
    "I have got to do this before my English test on Friday."

    Your obvious competence in spelling and grammar makes me wonder why you feel comfortable using such patois. I'm not saying it is necessarily wrong to use it - but it contributes to the impression you give the world of yourself.
