GET USED TO - BE USED TO- USED TO-


 1- USED TO: Equivale a "solía"... o al Pretérito Impefecto ( cantaba, bailaba, iba, trabajaba, etc...). Se emplea para expresar acciones que sucedían en el pasado de manera repetida. Este tipo de acciones también se pueden expresar con "would" pero suena más formal.

WARNING: Si quiero expresar una rutina del presente, no puedo emplear "used to". Sólo puedo expresarlo con el adverbio "usually". For example:

Suelo ver la tele por las tardes

I usually watch TV in the evening.  NO: I use to watch TV in the evening

2- BE USED TO: Significa "estar acostumbrado a". Si a continuación ponemos un verbo, éste irá en Gerundio (con -ing), ya que "to" aquí es una preposición.

3- GET USED TO: Quiere decir "acostumbrarse". El verbo "get" puede ir en cualquier tiempo verbal y después de "to" va un verbo en Gerundio (-ing) (aunque también puede ir un nombre o un sintagma nominal)


NOW THAN WE KNOW THE MEANING OF THE THREE STRUCTURES WE CAN PRACTICE WIT ALL OF THEM.
