I'm studying English in an academy so I think I've a good English level... :roll:
PD: It's funny talking among forum members in English


Hi zack II, in this case you can't contract "I have". You only do that when you are talking about past perfect tenses, not present tenses. For instance:

  • I have lived in Spain for two years = I've lived in Spain for two years.
  • I have been working a lot lately = I've been working a lot lately
    I have a good English level =I've a good English level

And by the way, I think it would sound better if you say "I have a good level of English".

Cheers,

Sorry... I used "I have" instead of "I have got". That is right, isn't it?
And I think I can contract "I have" in "I've". Can't I?

I have gotten.

How pspCaracas you only can contract "I have" when you use a past perfect tense.

You have to use gotten because is the past participle form of get

According to http://dictionary.cambridge.org/diction ... tish/get_1:

  • get/got/gotten (American English)

It sounds to me like you were talking about different languages levels, eg: English level, French level, Spanish level.

But you're the one who lives in USA...I've never been into an English spoken country...so...
