Hello everyone and welcome back to ForB's English lesson video. My name is Richard and today we are looking at the expression, "Gotta go." Do you know the meaning? We have two example conversations.

Let's look at conversation 1.
Person A says, "What time is it?"
Person B says, "It's ten to eleven."
Person A says, "Gotta go. I don't want to be late for work."

Can you guess the meaning?

Let's look at example conversation 2.
Person A says, "We're going out to eat. Do you want to join us?"
Person B says, "Sorry, I can't. I gotta go home to finish writing a report by tomorrow morning."

Can you guess the meaning? "Gotta go" is a casual way to say "have to go." "Gotta" is a short form of "got to", which comes from "have got to." We usually drop "have" and combine "got to", so it sounds like gotta, gotta go. "Gotta go" in conversation 1 has no "I", because "gotta go" is often used without a subject. So you can say Gotta go or I gotta go. In this situation, person A says gotta go because he has to go to work.

In conversation 2, person B says I gotta go home so he means he has to go home. Alright?

Alright, let's practice the pronunciation of gotta go together. Please repeat after me. Gotta go. Gotta go. Great. Now let's practice the conversations together. For conversation 1, I will be person B and you will be person A. Please read person A. Person A says. It's ten to eleven. Person A says. Great.

Now let's try conversation 2. I will be person A and you will be person B. Please read person B. We're going out to eat. Do you want to join us? Person B says. Great.

Alright, you can use gotta with other verbs too. For example, do, gotta do the dishes. I have to do the dishes. Or meet, gotta meet a client. I have to meet a client. Finally call, gotta call home. I have to call home. So now you know the meaning of gotta. So now it's your turn. Please comment below about something you have to do or someplace you have to go, using gotta. Oh, I gotta finish the video. My name is Richard. Remember to click like, share, and subscribe, and I'll catch you next time.
