Answer 2

Any thesaurus will provide you with the answer to your question, but none will give the amazing versitility of the word "catch" that I learned from a little Japanese girl many years ago. She knew just enough English to be charming and get the thing done, but listen to these examples.
1. Last nitto I catchee two GI.
2. My friendo catchee boywhendo.
3. I see you but I catchee so surpridzu.
4. we go catchee soba now
5. I thinku I catchee you hearto.
6. Oh, you catchee neisu heyah cuto.
7. You ruve me, I catchee so happy.
8. We catchee sureepu now. Oyasuminasai
She must have learned it from "Catch a cab," "catch a movie," but it worked in place of "got" in all it's forms and replaced many other verbs as well.

I catchee memories just now. Where is she tonight? I hope she catchee better life and happiness.

Answer 3

2. Get, obtain, acquire, procure, secure imply gaining possession of something. Get may apply to coming into possession in any manner, and either voluntarily or not. Obtain suggests putting forth effort to gain possession, and acquire stresses the possessing after an (often prolonged) effort. Procure suggests the method of obtaining, as that of search or choice. Secure, considered in bad taste as a would-be-elegant substitute for get, is, however, when used with discrimination, a perfectly proper word. It suggests making possession sure and safe, after obtaining something by competition or the like. 2. win, gain. 7. apprehend, grasp. 10. induce, dispose. 12. engender.

Answer 4

You can use - have

Then again...if it is in these contexts

To keep at one's disposal - hold, own, possess, retain.

To have as a part - comprehend, comprise, contain, embody, embrace, encompass, include, involve, subsume, take in.

To be filled by - contain, hold

It depends on the context.

Answer 5

Usually you can just ditch it. For example.
I have got to do this = I have to do this
I have got a lovely bunch of coconuts = I have a lovely bunch etc.
In the case, I got him to do it, you could say I made him do it.
When using got as the past tense of get, for example We got away, you could again say, we made it away. It's not so elegant. There's nothing wrong with got. It's just overused.
