The difference between "used to", "be used to", and "get used to"."Find the Mistake" review activity

 

"used to" vs. "be used to" 
vs. "get used to"

used to

As we studied in Advanced Lesson 2 "used to" can be used to express past habit.

I used to walk to school.

NOTE:
In the negative form the word "didn't" indicates that the sentence is negative so "used to" changes to its basic form "use to".  Similarly, in the question form the word "Did" indicates that it is a question.

I didn't use to walk to school.
Did you use to walk to school?

 

be used to

We use the verb "to be" together with "used to" to express that we are accustomed to something.

I am used to exercising every day.

 

get used to

We use the verb "get" together with "used to" to express that we are becoming accustomed to something.

I am getting used to waking up early.

NOTE:
"be used to" and "get used to" are used with the gerund (the -ing form of the verb) while "used to" is used with the infinitive (the basic form of the verb).

I used to walk.
I am used to walking.
I get used to walking.
