Hi everyone, how was your weekend? Mine was relaxing! Let me tell you about it. Listen for me to say the words “used to” three times.
On Saturday, I got up early to go to my 7 o’clock yoga class. Most of my friends like to sleep late on weekends. But I've been going to this class for a year now. So I am used to waking at sunrise.
A few weeks ago, I finally persuaded my friend Tania to come. She is not a morning person. But after a month of our new routine, she is getting used to the early hours.
After class, we like to get breakfast at a café down the street. Every week, she orders the same thing: banana pancakes. I used to eat pancakes. But now I enjoy something lighter, like yogurt and fruit.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN USED TO, GET USED TO, BE USED TO (1)
Lorem ipsum dolor sit
video: Difference Between Used to and Be (Get) Used to
TRICKY POINTS!
used to + base verb is NOT the same as the past participle of the verb use followed by an infinitive verb! This can be confusing.. Let’s look at the following examples:
He used to work out every day. (Form: used to + base verb. Meaning: He worked out often in the past but doesn’t anymore.)
This machine is used to make student ID cards. (Form: use (present passive) + infinitive verb. Meaning: Making student ID cards is the machine’s function.)
When use indicates the function of something, it is almost always in the passive voice. If you see the be verb before used, it is likely indicating function, not a past habit/routine.
Used to becomes use to when used with the auxiliary verb did.
let's recap!
USED TO
get used to
be used to
Be Used To + NOUN or GERUND Followed by a gerund (‑ing) or a noun. Use this expression when something is now a habit or routine (and has been going on for a while).
Used To + INFINITIVE Verb Always followed by an infinitive verb.
Shows that an action was performed repeatedly in the past, but is no longer performed in the present.
Get Used To + NOUN or GERUND Followed by a gerund (-ing) or a noun. Indicates that something is becoming familiar. Use this expression for a new habit or routine.
