@Vijay.

If you are using had instead of have its something like we don't have it now.

The action is over long ago i.e 1988.

So, why can't we use had got?

please tell me.

According to me it's I had got my msc degree in1998.

'I have got' is not wrong. It is a present perfect tense. And ' I got' is past indefinite. So both we can write. Can anyone tall me why A is the right answer?

Arun Rajasekaran said:   8 years ago
"I got" is the correct answer.

Reason: I have got means the possession of the degree now.

But, I got, means the degree was obtained from somewhere, someday long ago.

When the time is given in past then we use simple past. It is one of the rule of tense.

Yasir said:   8 years ago
Have is used for past continuous.

Since/for in 1988 past tense.

In 1988 means it is simple past tense so we cant use present perfect(HAVE GOT)here
