Default Re: How to use "I get to"?

Depends. If you're talking about an event in the past it would be :

He got to go to the rock concert last week, but I didn't. Mum said he got to go because...
(etc)

If it's not past (regular or future), as in Mark's example, then gets to express the time of the event, or got to concord with the verb said are both possible.

He gets to go to the rock concert next week. Mum said he gets/got to go because ...(
etc)

I think you asked the same thing in one of your past questions - ?? Look back and you'll find the explanation there.
