Similar & Confused Verbs
"Used to + base verb" = past habit (no longer true): "I used to smoke." "Be used to + -ing/noun" = be accustomed to (present or ongoing): "I'm used to waking up early." "Get used to + -ing/noun" = become accustomed to (a process): "It took time, but I got used to the cold." The form after "be/get used to" must be -ing or a noun — never the base verb.
