    USED TO, BE USED TO and GET USED TO can be confusing structures for students learning English because they seem so similar in appearance. However, their meanings are quite different. I used to get up early (This means that in the past I got up early, but I dont get up early anymore) Im used to getting up early (This means that Im accustomed to getting up early) Im getting used to getting up early (This means that I am in the process of becoming accustomed to getting up early, but Im still not used to getting up early)

    1. USED TO USED TO indicates an action that we did in the past, but no longer do in the present. We often use this structure to contrast past habits with current situations. For example: We used to live in a large city, but now we live in a small village I didnt use to exercise regularly, but now I go to the gym every day Did you use to smoke? Be careful, because there are slight changes in the structures we use for USED TO, depending on whether the sentence is affirmative, negative or interrogative. The structure for USED TO is: Affirmative: subject + USED TO + infinitive (without to) Negative: subject + auxiliary verb + not + USE TO + infinitive (without to) Question: auxiliary verb + subject + USE TO + infinitive (without to)

    2. BE USED TO

    BE USED TO indicates a situation which has become normal. We have become accustomed to someone or something. For example: He is used to working long hours She isnt used to the cold weather Are you used to working with computers? The structure for BE USED TO is: Affirmative: subject + BE ( conjugated) + USED TO + gerund / noun Negative: subject + BE ( conjugated) + not + USED TO + gerund / noun Question: BE ( conjugated) + subject + USED TO + gerund / noun
