What is the third form of get?

Answer: The third form of ‘get’ is the past participle, used in perfect tenses (e.g.,’ has got’ or ‘has gotten’) and passive voice. It indicates that something has been received, obtained, or achieved. In British English, it’s ‘got’, while in American English, it is ‘gotten’.

Complete Answer:

The third form of a verb is also called the past participle. For regular verbs, we simply add -ed to make the past and past participle forms. For example, cook becomes cooked. But some verbs are irregular, their past forms do not follow a fixed rule.

The verb ‘get’ is one of these irregular verbs.

• Base form: get
• Simple past: got
• Past participle (third form): got (British English) or gotten (American English)

Examples:

Base form	Simple past form	Past Participle
get	got	got/gotten
See	See	Seen

Similarly, ‘Got’ is the third form of the verb ‘get’.

The past and past participle verb forms of regular verbs are produced by the root word + ed.  It only uses the past tenses.

So the third form of get is ‘got’. 

Conclusion: Ordinary verbs add -ed to their base form to become past participles.  For example, cook is its past participle.  In irregular verbs, past participles feature endings such as -en, -t, -d, and -n.  Examples are broken, bloated, burned, and hoped.
