dictionary entries don �t have the "to" infinitive, or at least those that I have checked so far...I wish i could erase it but the thought that I have done a mistake in not correcting that chart myself and explaining the mistake on the spot to my pupil is haunting

It �s not a mistake, as I get it from Alex �s post from yesterday. I just thought in that way you could save yourself the pain of the argument with a colleague. So, that colleague of yours is probably infallible, eh? Sophia

As Sophia said, this was discussed yesterday: http://www.eslprintables.com/forum/topic.asp?id=30565, although you didn �t mention that it was a heading for a conjugation. As I said yesterday, the string �to have got � is common enough, depending on the context and sense, obviously. If you think about it, it �s simply a verb phrase with �have � as the head - in which case only �have � is inflected.
I checked my Collins Robert French dictionary and the sub-head �to have got � is given under �get � (translated as avoir, poss�der). It also appears several times in its infinitive form under �have �.
By the way, Blanca, if I were you, I �d check a good usage dictionary if you �re not too sure about when to use the expression (blue collar/ white collar indeed!).

Thank you all so very much for your interest. I knew I could count on you!
But who is Blanca? Is it me? So I should get a better dictionary if I want to be a white collar teacher...
