Re:What is difference beatween
The only difference is that it sounds a little more formal when you say "I have got a pen." rather than "I have a pen." You can use either one in any case. What are some common things you say in Polish.

Re:What is difference beatween
"Have got" is not really more formal. People use both forms all the time (for possession and obligation).
Both are correct: I have a headache. I've got a headache
Both are correct: I have to do my homework. I've got to do my homework.
The only thing you need to remember is that "have got" is usually used in the present tense, "have" can be used in past and future tenses. So, we can say: When I was a child I had a toy car. We don't normally say: When I was a child I had got a toy car.
