    OBJECTIVE

    • In this lesson, you will make use of


    the structures be used to and get
    used to, to express habitual
    activities and the acquisition
    process of new activities through
    communicative activities
    TELL ME ABOUT HABITS
    YOU HAD IN THE PAST THAT
    YOU DON’T HAVE ANYMORE
    We say I used to do something when we talk
    about something we did regularly in the past, but
    do not do it now.

    In the negative we say I didn’t use to do


    something:

    A PAST HABIT
    I used to live in a large city, but now I live by the
    seaside.
    USED TO

    I didn’t use to go swimming everyday.


    TELL ME ABOUT A HABIT OR STH
    YOU’RE ACCUSTOMED TO
    We use the structure be used to something / be
    used to doing something when we say that
    something is normal for us, not strange or new:

    I get up early every morning to go to work. It


    isn’t something new or strange for me. I am
    used to getting up early.

    I’M ACCUSTOMED "How can you live in this building? There is


    so much noise" "It’s not a problem. I am
    TO SOMETHING used to it."

    BE USED TO Andrea wasn’t used to the hot weather in


    Greece. She is from Finland.

    John is from England. He is used to driving


    on the left.
    TELL ME ABOUT STH THAT IS
    BECOMING NORMAL IN YOUR
    LIFE
    We use the structure get used to something / get
    used to doing something when we say that
    something becomes normal for us.

    After living in Greece for a year, Andrea got


    used to the hot weather.
    SOMETHING
    BECOMES
    NORMAL Robert had always lived with his parents.
    Then he went to university and started to
    live alone. It was strange at first, but he got
    GET USED TO used to it in the end.

    Sandra’s new boss was very demanding at


    first, but she got used to him.
    NOTE!

    Why do we use –ing for a
    As you could see in the
    verb after be/get used to?
    previous examples, we can
    Because we always use –
    use be used to/get used
    ing for a verb after a
    to in any tense, depending
    preposition, and to is a
    on the context.
    preposition.
