We use 'used to do smth' when we tell about the past events. For example, 'When I was a child, I used to go skiing'. It means that earlier I did it, but now I don't do it anymore.
If you 'are used to smth, you are accustomed to it – you don’t find it unusual. For example, '5 years ago I was afraid of driving. But now I am used to driving'.

It's used in the following cases:
1- To express events that happened in the past on a regular basis: "I used to play football on Sundays."
2- To express past events that happened under certain circumstances or conditions: "He used to take long walks after rain."
3- A particular identity or profession that represented someone/something in the past + be: "I used to be a cop/ This place used to be a stadium."
As for (to be use to), it has two types:
