I think both i have got & i had got could nt b used in this because they havn't mentioned whether it is present or past tense...

I "got" is correct because statement is in simple past. The person had its degree, so no usage of have in it. Its not a feeling.

Prathyu said:   1 decade ago
'have got' is used when the action is completed just now whereas 'got' is a simple past which is correct to use in the sentence.

Can anyone specify the error here?

Your valuable information is important to me, logic of the answer should be present.

We can use both I have got and I got.

Isn't it?

Actually using "have" puts an emphasis.

So I think both are correct.

Friends, If there is a clear mention of past time, like 1988, we should only use past Tense instead of present perfect.

Its a hypothetical question.

Because it judged by two sides.

So don't repeat this kind of silly questions mind it.

When the year is given in the sentence we always use 2nd form of verb and make the sentence in simple past tense.

Dinesh said:   1 decade ago
We can use either "got" or "had got".

Usually americans use got, they don't use had got.

But both are correct.

Asha said:   1 decade ago
Have got is present perfect which needs immediate finishing or usage of since or for otherwise its simple past.
