I'm Esther in this video, I'm going to talk about the two similar and sometimes confusing english expressions used to and be used to.

These expressions can be confusing, but this video will help you understand the difference and when to use them.

So keep watching.

Mhm.

Let's start with youth to its form is used to plus the infinitive, it's used as a verb used to express.

Is that an activity was a past habit.

It was a regular occurrence at an earlier stage of life, but not anymore.

Let's look at some examples.

The first sentence says I used to drink green tea.

However, because it says used to it means not anymore.

It used to be a regular thing in the past, but I don't drink green tea anymore.

The next sentence says Karen used to play with dolls again.

Karen played with dolls a lot.

Maybe in the past, but she doesn't play with dolls anymore.

And that's why we used used to now, I'll move on to be used to.

Its form is b or get used to.

It means that you are accustomed to something you don't find it unusual, it's familiar to you.

Let's look at some examples.

The first sentence says, I'm getting used to working at night.

Remember the form can be be used to or get used to in this example we're using get used to I'm getting used to working at night.

I'm becoming familiar with working at night.

Maybe it's because I've been working at night for a long time.

The next sentence says she's used to the heat in the summer.

Here we use the beaver.

She is.

She's used to the heat in the summer.

She's accustomed to it.

Maybe it's because she lived in a hot place when she was young.

Now let's move on to a checkup in this conversation.

There are two sentences in one of the sentences we use used to in the other sentence, we need to use B.

Or get used to take a moment to think about where we use these expressions.

A.

Says I blink, have a better work schedule.

A is trying to express that in the past.

He had a better work schedule but that's not true anymore.

So we need to use used to I used to have a better work schedule be says don't worry you'll blink this new schedule soon.

B.

Is trying to tell a after some time you'll be accustomed to your new schedule.

So he can say don't worry, you'll be used to this new schedule soon or don't worry you'll get used to this new schedule soon.

So if we look at this conversation altogether A says I used to have a better work schedule be says don't worry you'll get used to this new schedule soon now.

You know the difference between used to and be used to be sure to use them correctly remember it's always important to practice everything you learn in my videos.

Thank you guys so much for watching and I'll see you in the next video.
