Have / Have got ? Hello! I have a question: When do you use 'Have' and when 'Have got'? I were taught that you always use 'Have got', but most people on the internet don't. Is it because of their dialect or what ... ? Thanks in advance! Ella.

The German education system Most German children between the ages of 3 and 6 attend a German preschool, which is known as 'Kindergarten' or 'Kita' and they aren't run by the government, but by city or town administrations and local churches. German elementary schools are called 'Grundeschule'. After children have completed four years of elementary school, there are four options for secondary schooling. The most gifted children attend a 'Gymnasium' (grammar school) and graduate after grade twelve or thirteen with an 'Abitur', an exit exam which qualifies you for university. Then there is the 'Realschule', which students have to attend until grade ten. The least academic school is the 'Hauptschool' which students have to attend until grade nine and it's exit exam is either a 'Hauptschulabschluss' or, after another year, a 'Realschulabschluss'. The last one is the 'Gesamtschule' (comprehensive school), which all students are allowed to attend, regardless of their school performance. Most German schools are public schools. A great portion of the German universities is public, so student's mostly don't have to pay tuition fees or low ones. By the way, today's the Independence Day of Estonia!
