Avoiding mistakes: USED TO vs. TO BE USED TO
2011-08-01
Don’t confuse “I am used to” and “I used to”. They’re different in structure and meaning.
- I am used to (doing) something= something isn’t strange for me.
Examples: I am used to driving fast.
He’s used to exercising.
- I used to (do) something= I did something regularly in the past but no longer do it.
Examples: I used to drive fast. (I no longer drive fast)
He used to exercise. (He no longer exercises)
