Q:
Please show me example sentences with We’ve got, you’ve got, I’ve got .
A:
"I have", "I got", and "I've got" are all variations of the same thing! "I've got to go to the store" "I gotta (gotta = got to) go to the store" "I have to go to the store" are all equally correct and they mean the same thing.
"I've got" is more common in the UK and Australia I believe. "I have" and "I gotta" are super common in the US, and if you want to add more emphasis you can say "I have GOT to go to the store!" etc.
But for the most part, these are all interchangeable. The only exception is when you use "I got to go to the store", (instead of gotta) it kind of sounds like "I had the opportunity to go to the store" similar to someone saying "we got to go to a circus today!" like they were happy for the opportunity and they enjoyed it.
