'He has got well.' - OK?

Posted by mesmark · January 17, 2008 · 2 replies

The sentence 'He has got well.' sounds wrong to me, but I thought I'd check with some others to see if this is maybe some other English.

It was used in isolation on a test.

(I'm American btw.)

I would say it like:

He got better.

He has gotten better.

He fore surz gotten hiz snizzle me nizzle.

I think the third one is the only one that grammatically correct.

I'm English and I'd say:

He has got better, contracted to He's got better.

Mind you, you do indeed hear 'He fore surz gotten hiz snizzle me nizzle' more often on the streets of London! :-)
