Thank you dear friends for your answers.
And one else:What's difference between GOTTO and GONNA ?
best.

[peyman1987]

Hi dear

Gotta is the slang term and short form of got to and gonna is the short form of going to.

I'm gonna go to school => I'm going to go to school.
I've gotta get to school on time => I've got to get to school on time

[Contractor]

very thanks

but i searched in my dictionaries very much and didn't understand what does mean "GOT TO" in same sentences
I just know it's pp of Get .
Can you say that?

[peyman1987]

Yeah you're right.

Got is the past form of get. One of the purposes of using get is to show obligation.

When we say I've got to do my homework , it means that I have to do my homework.

I have got to go to school => I should go to school
