Insegnante professionista🔹 Grammar That Clicks: The Secret Behind ‘Used to’ and ‘Be Used to’
A lot of learners tell me: "I get confused between 'used to' and 'be used to'... they seem the same!"
Here’s the simple key 🔑:
Used to + verb = A past habit that you don’t do anymore.
➡️ I used to live in Spain. (I don’t anymore.)
Be used to + noun/verb-ing = You are comfortable with something.
➡️ I’m used to waking up early. (It feels normal to me now.)
🧠 Quick Tip: When you see “be,” think about your state (how you feel).
When you see just “used to,” think about your actions (what you did).
