Artyom
got used to/get used to
For ex., I like drinking coffee. When I talk about it, I can add: I got used to drinking coffee or I get used to drinking coffee. Is there any difference in the meaning "I got used to" and "I get used to" in this context? Can "I got used to" and "I get used to" mean the same in some context even when the tenses are different?

Hi Artyom,
The meanings are slightly different:
"I get used to" = is the process of becoming used to something. It's not the completed action. It is the period of time when you have become accustomed to it.
"I got used to" = this is after the initial process and something that is not strange/unusual anymore.
So in the context you want, you would say: 'I got used to drinking coffee.' (meaning that you drink coffee regularly).
In a different context you could however say: 'I am getting used to drinking coffee.' (meaning that you have recently started drinking coffee and are still getting used to it).
Hope this helps!

get used to (someone or something)- you become familiar with it of get to know them
got used to- you are now "used" to it... Like something used to annoy you in the past,then not anymore now
We usually use get used to with modal verbs like.. will get used to..could get used to..
We can say.. I am used to drinking coffee.I will get used to drinking coffee or I got used to drinking coffee😊😊
