Structure of Be used to
           The structure is:
    subject + be + used to + object


     subject   main     not   used to   object
               verb
               be
+    I         am             used to   horses.
-    He        is       not   used to   horses.
     We        aren't         used to   horses.
?    Are       you            used to   horses?
If the object involves a verb, we use the -ing form:




I         am         not   used to   being lied to.



He        is               used to   working late.



We        aren't           used to   taking the bus.



Are       you              used to   cooking?
Use of Be used to

The be used to expression is for talking about something that is
familiar to us or easy for us. For example:

I am used to driving on the left.
It means that it is not a problem for me to drive on the left of the
road. I am Japanese. In Japan, people drive on the left. Now I am
living in the USA where people drive on the right. Of course, I drive
on the right in the USA, but when I go to Japan it is easy for me to
drive on the left because "I am used to it".
Look at these examples.
.
I am used to working hard.

He isn't used to living in New York.

Are you used to eating quickly?
Tenses
We can use be used to in any tense.
We just conjugate the verb be in the
tense that we need. Look at these
examples:
•When we lived in Bangkok,
we were used to hot weather.
•You will soon be used to living alone.
Used to
We use 'used to' for something that happened regularly in
the past but no longer happens.
•I used to smoke a packet a day but I stopped two years ago.
•Ben used to travel a lot in his job but now, since his promotion,
he doesn't.
•I used to drive to work but now I take the bus.
We also use it for something that was true but no longer is.
•There used to be a cinema in the town but now there isn't.
•She used to have really long hair but she's had it all cut off.
•I didn't use to like him but now I do.
