Is saying "I got an A" grammatically correct?

Question

Knowing my brain skills, it's not factually correct, but is saying "I got an A" grammatically incorrect in any way?

A teacher of mine said to never say that in her presence (a bit mellow dramatic, huh...) simply because it showed your grammar weakness. This just didn't set well with me.

Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated. :)

Answer 1

no, it's correct. it has a subject and and a verb. "A" and "got". same as "i got an unbrella". although this is a very simple and basic sentence.

yes it's received

Answer 2

I guess if you add a "an" b4 the "A", it shoud be okay.

Answer 3

I received an A

Answer 4

it sounds right to me lol

Answer 5

"I received an 'A' in Grammar." is the better sentence.  Yes, you are correct in saying 'i' before 'e'  except after 'c'.  Your teacher was grammatically correct in her dislike of the word "got". I just bet she detests the show title of "America's Got Talent".

Answer 6

How is it not factually correct?  If you got an A, it's factually correct.

I can only think your teacher must think that when you say, "I got an A," you mean you HAVE an A.  In that case, it's incorrect.

But if you mean you RECEIVED an A, "I got an A" is absolutely correct, and I don't know what the problem is.

"Received" is one of many accepted, common meanings of "got."

Answer 7

The guy who said "I recieved an "A" was correct but you should give me the best answer.
