I would add a couple of points if you have no objections. Got is the preterite of get and cannot be used in the present or future tense; but it can be used in the conditional tense e.g. 'By tomorrow he will have got......
And 'gotting' does not exist.
Gotten is very rarely used these days ( in UK at least).

I understand why you are confused.
Get has many meanings and uses.
It can mean you have come into posession or ownership of something. To GET a new car. GOT, it happened in the past. GETTING, currently happening/will happen very soon: getting a new car.
Remember, verb=it's what you do.
To GET something from the store. (Purchase, go after)
To GET ON the bus. (Action)
To GET a new wardrobe. (Purchase)
To GET a haircut. (Action/purchase)
There are many many ways to use GET.
And as far as gotten/got; both can be used it just depends on the circumstances and honesty sometimes comes down to which sounds better to the ear, even if it's "wrong."
He's gotten into trouble again?
He got into trouble again?
Hopefully someone with more experience in this can explain. I hope I didn't just confuse you more.
