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

Here we should use "I got". As you can see the word got itself is a past tense.

If in the sentence in 1988, last year, weak ect. Word uses we use simple past.

So if the year is mentioned it will 'got' but not 'have got'. Is this correct?

In above sentence he mentioned with respect to time so "I got" correct answer.

Here the time in 1980 is mentioned. It is a past tense. So I got should be.
Vijay said:

I think it is I had because sentence 1988 given past tense should be used.
Anu said:

We can even use I have got. If this is wrong can anybody explain? please.

But had is also past tense right. So why shouldn't we use had received?
