I used to something
"I used to drink green tea."
"I used to drink green tea", means that, in the past I drank green tea, but
now I don't. Used to describes an action that did happen, but doesn't
happen now. Check out these great examples:
"When I was young I used to play with dolls, but I don't anymore."
"Before I passed my driving test, I used to cycle everywhere."
I am used to something
"I am used to drinking green tea."
"I am used to drinking green tea", means that, at first drinking green tea
was strange and unusual, but now it has become familiar. Be used to
describes an action that was, perhaps, difficult and is now easy. "I am
accustomed to green tea", has the same meaning. Read on for fantastic
examples:
It's easy to confuse used to do and be used to. Both forms look alike, but
they have very different meanings and structures.
First let's look at used to do, or used to + verb. When I say I used to do
something, I mean that I did something regularly in the past which I no
longer do now. For example, "When I was a child, I used to fight with my
brother, but now we get along."
We can also use used to do to talk about something that was true in the
past but is not true now. For example, "Playing with dolls used to be
Sarah's favorite activity." In other words, Sarah's favorite activity in the
past was playing with dolls, but it is no longer something she likes to do.
Be used to means something different. If you are used to something, you
are accustomed to it. It is normal or usual for you. Be used to is always
followed by a noun or gerund (verb ending in -ing). For example, I can say
"I am used to the rain," or that "I am used to staying up late."
