Do you know the difference? Try to complete these two sentences:When I was a child, I have blonde hair. Now, my hair is hot weather. He is from Spain. It's usually hot there.[Click to Show Answers]Did you get it right? If not, let me explain the meaning and grammar to: describing a habit/condition in the past that is not true nowForm: use to + base verbExamples:"Mike used to live in France, so he can speak French.""Tara didn't use to like wine. But now she does."Both examples describe something that was true or false but isn't anymore. When we say, "Mike used to live in France," we know that Mike does not live in France anymore because used to describes something that was true but is not true anymore. In the same way, in the second example, when we read that "Tara didn't use to like wine," we automatically know that now she does. When we use "use to", there is always a contrast between the past and cannot say: Mike used to live in France. He still does. In this case, the past situation is the same as the present. 'Use to' is not used like Mistake: "I didn't used to..." Remember that "use to" is a verb. The past negative is "didn't use to". This is a common writing mistake even among native English speakers. Be careful!to be used to : describing something you are accustomed toForm: [ BE verb ] + used to + [ noun / gerund ] Examples:Tina is used to her job. She has been working there for 6 father wasn't used to eating with chopsticks, so it took him a long time to eat his sentences talk about being accustomed to an activity. If you are accustomed to something, that means you have experience with it so it is not new to you. I am accustomed to teaching English because I have been teaching for 8 years. This means I am used to teaching English. It is normal for the first example, Tina has been doing her job for 6 months, so it is not something new to her. She is used to it. In the second example, my father had no experience using chopsticks, which means he wasn't accustomed to it. So, it took him a long time to eat his food. He wasn't used to using that we use be used to with an activity that requires experience to become comfortable doing, for example, driving a car, or speaking in a new language. We do not normally say, "I am used to drinking milk" because drinking milk is easy (it's not a challenge!) -- it requires no experience.) We do say, "I am used to using chopsticks" because chopsticks can be difficult to use (for Western people). It requires you used to using chopsticks?Common Mistake: "I am used to speak English." This sentence is wrong. When a verb comes after 'used to', the structure is: "use to + ing". The sentence should be "I am used to teaching English." When someone makes this mistake, it is very confusing because it is similar to "I used to speak English", which has a completely different / Become Used toThis expression has the same meaning but it focuses on the process of becoming accustomed to something. Here are two examples:It took John a long time to get used to living by himself. (or become used to living)Lisa is getting used to Canadian winters. (or is becoming used to)In these sentences, the verbs get and become have the same meaning. The first example describes how long it took John to feel comfortable and get accustomed to living by himself. He probably had been living with his family for a long time, so when he moved into his own apartment, the situation wasn't normal for him. It took some time before the situation felt normal; it took him some time to get used to his new life. The focus here is on becoming (or getting) used to second example is also about the process of becoming accustomed. Lisa is not used to Canadian winters, but she is getting close. She is becoming used to them. The verb tense is in the present progressive because it is describing an action happening now -- now she is in the process of getting accustomed to you think you understand? Let's see!

If you have any questions, please leave a comment Pages:Pair Work Activity: Use to / Be Used to / Get Used to (for teachers)The Difference: Other and AnotherThe Difference: So and SuchThe Difference: So and TooThe Difference: Wish and Hope- Matthew Barton (copyright / Creator of 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. I hope you heard me say “used to” three times as I told my story. But each phrase looks and sounds a little different. These were the phrases from the story: be used to get used to used to The phrase “used to” is unrelated to the other two phrases. But “be used to” and “get used to” have similar meanings and sentence structures. Some English learners have trouble distinguishing between the three. Others can tell them apart but have trouble forming sentences with them. So, on today’s Everyday Grammar program, I will show you how to recognize and use each. Used to Let’s start with the last phrase, “used to.” “Used to” is considered a modal verb, though an unusual one, since it is only found in the past tense. Choose “used to” to say that something existed or happened repeatedly in the past but does not exist or happen now. For example, I said, “I used to eat pancakes.” That means I ate them repeatedly in the past but do not anymore. I used to eat pancakes. I still love them but I don't eat them anymore! What is something you used to eat? The sentence structure for “used to” will always go like this: subject + used to + base verb The base form of a verb is its shortest form, with no -s ending. Look for that structure in these examples, including my own: I used to eat pancakes. But now I enjoy something lighter, like yogurt and fruit. Sacha used to live on Atlantic Avenue near Vanderbilt Street. He didn’t use to believe in ghosts. But he said he saw one at his grandmother's house. As you just heard, the negative of “used to” is “did not use to” or the more common “didn’t use to.” Notice the word “use” does not end with the letter -d in the negative. That is because “did” is already the past tense. Be used to Next, let’s talk about “be used to.” Choose “be used to” to say you are accustomed to something, and so it seems normal or usual. If you are used to something, it is not difficult, new or strange. In “be used to,” the verb “be” can take the present, past or future tense (though future is less common). And the words “used to” are an adjective, not a modal verb. Earlier you heard the present tense “am” in my sentence “I am used to waking at sunrise.” That means I am accustomed to it. The sentence structure goes like this: subject + be + used to + gerund, noun or pronoun In other words, the phrase “be used to” will be followed by some kind of noun – whether gerund or otherwise. You may remember that a gerund is a kind of noun that ends in i-n-g. Listen to a few examples, including my own. Pay attention to the verb tense of “be.” And, note that nouns follow “be used to.” But I've been going to this class for a year now. So I am used to waking at sunrise. She doesn’t think Dami is strange. She is used to him. Look, the bird is frightened. It is not used to large crowds. Notice that the negative for “be used to” is “be not used to.” School children sit as they form the word "Yoga Day" on the International Yoga Day in Chennai, India. Get used to And, finally, we have “get used to.” Remember -- this phrase is related in meaning to “be used to.” The difference is that “get used to” means someone is, was or will become accustomed to something. So, the verb “get” in the phrase can take the present, past or future tense. For example, I said this about Tania: “She is getting used to the early hours.” That means she is becoming accustomed to being awake in the early morning. The words “used to” in the phrase “get used to” are also an adjective. The sentence structure goes like this: subject + get + used to + gerund, noun or pronoun Listen for the verb tense of “get” in the following examples. And take note that nouns follow “get used to.” But after a month of our new routine, she is getting used to the early hours. I hated this haircut at first. But I got used to it. I like it now! The baby will not get used to the new sitter. I think she misses her dad. Note the negative of “get used to,” which is “not get used to.” And that’s it for today.

States are NOT actions. We express states with stative verbs such as have, believe, know and like.
