Here is a part of the dialogue from Everyday English in Conversation: Communication
" - Just a minute, Dear! I'm looking at a new jewelry site. I wanna make sure I get the right gift for your birthday, don't I?"
It appears to be based on American English. Is the tense used for "I get the right gift" correct? I guess the past or present perfect tense is the right choice. Is the meaning of "get" there is kind of selecting something for the future purchase as the present. Thank you.
