Both are correct English. The first would be the most common circumstance. Which is more correct would depend on the context of the situation.

All dialects of English are real English.\nIt's true that the accents are different.\nThe main difference between American and British dialects is the way they pronounce vowels.

Simple Present    Simple Past  Past Participle \n     get              got          gotten\n\nGotten is used as past participle and is used in a present perfect sentence. The sentence pattern for present perfect is has/have + past participle. Moreover, this tense talks about a situation or activity that started in the past and is carried up to now only or it may talks about a past activity but it doesn't specifically mention the exact date it happened. Example, I have gotten that beautiful dress from a friend.

There is nothing "grammatical" about the question. All the folks saying it has something to do with whether the object is singular or plural are confused.  Since when do we use a different form of a PREPOSITION based on the grammatical number of the noun or pronoun it precedes??  It doesn't happen!\n\nBy the same token, there is NO basis for the claim that "Americans [or the British] are wrong. Their form is ungrammatical." It is simply a matter of different uses in different dialects of a language,  no more incorrect to use one or the other than it is to call the same part of car a "bonnet" in Britain and a "hood" in America or the variations in spelling standards on opposite sides of the Atlantic.\n\nNote that the differences between British and American English extend to other uses of "-war(s)" words (backward, forward, westward)\n\nAs support for the dialectal difference, one participant in the discussion linked below provided search engine results:\n[from] an attempt at a systematic Google search:\n"toward -towards site:uk": 677,000 kits\n"towards -toward site:uk": 8,530,000 hits\n"toward towards site:uk": 333,000 hits\n"toward -towards": 85,400,000 hits\n"towards -toward": 67,600,000 hits\n"toward towards": 15,900,000 hits

Alright- let's say that someone has just given you directions, and they ask you if you have understood what they have said, you could reply either "yes, I understood" or "yes, I understand" - I believe the reason for this is because the info was presented to you already (past tense) but you are being asked whether you understand it now, therefore you can also answer in the present tense, "I understand"- if you are referring to understanding the info at the time it was presented to you, you can use the past tense "I understood".\nGet or got- getting something is considered "future tense"-ie" I get paid on Friday", " I am going to get a haircut"- "got" is considered present tense ie "I have got a ton of homework", "Do you see what I've got?". Hopefully this makes sense...you're doing well- keep up the good work.

They are both correct. The first is just more emphatic (use of the auxiliary verb 'have'). They have slightly different meanings, that's all. If I was going to argue with someone then I might want to 'have' a talk with them, but if it was just a time-wasting conversation then I might just 'talk' with them.

Best way is to hang around English speakers. Then you learn English and the slang English. Most will not mind helping or answering questions. But remember there is a difference between English speakers and meanings. Brits, Aussies, American, same word can have different meanings.

Has -- Present Simple; singular. \nFor example: The boy HAS a red bicycle.\n\nHave -- Present Simple; plural, I, you.\nFor example: The boys HAVE a red bicycle.\nI HAVE a red bicycle.\nYou HAVE a red bicyle.\n\nHad -- Past Simple; singular and plural.\nFor example:\nThe boy HAD a red bicycle, but it broke.\nThe girls HAD a blue bicycle, but they did not let the boys ride it.

HAS is part of the verb "to have", as in "He HAS a nice face"\n\nAS is a word used to compare, such as " His face is AS round AS an apple.  It can also be used instead of BECAUSE ..... "As I have homework, I cannot go out tonight"\n\nIn England some Londoners tend to drop the 'H' off the beginning of a word so HAS ends up sounding like AS.

The Americans  see Portugal as one united country that requires a singular verb. \n\nThe British see the team as belonging to all the people of the country, a more collectivistic view, and thereby requiring a plural verb.

Different dialects of English have different standards.  Standard American English is the standard for many Americans, but British people have a different standard, and so forth.  So American English isn't really the standard for everyone (although it is for many if they have economic or cultural ties to the United States).\n\nAs for how the standard evolved, there have always been standards.  In general, the dialect of whoever's in power is considered the standard, because people want to be like that powerful group.  Americans who are trying to speak Standard American English do so because they think it will give them social power.  What's interesting, though, is that Standard American English is just agreed upon as the standard by many Americans even though it doesn't belong to a particular region.\n\nThe Founding Fathers spoke a dialect that is different from either American dialects or British dialects today.  They were British, but in the meantime English has evolved in both places.

British English - privacy with a short I (priv a see)\nAmerican English - privacy with a long I (pr-eye va see)\n\nAs for private, I think BE and AE are similar with a long I, but BE has a softer t sound at the end. (a glottal stop... if that means anything to you.)
