be/get used to something

8月27日下午15:10--15:22

Jane wasn't used to driving on the left.

But after a lot of practice, she got used to driving on the left.

Now after three years, she is used to driving on the left.

I'm used to something=it is not new or strange for me:

Frank lives alone. He doesn't mind this because he has lived alone for 15 years. It is not strange for him. He is used to it. He is used to living alone.

I bought some new shoes. They felt a bit strange at first because I wasn't used to them.

Our new flat is on a very busy street. I expect we'll get used to the noise, but at the moment it's very disturbing.

Diane has a new job. She has to get up much earlier now than before--at 6.30. She finds this difficult because she isn't used to getting up so early.

Brenda's husband is often away from home. She doesn't mind this. She is used to him being away.

注意区别:

I am used to the weather in this country.

I am used to driving on the left because I've lived in Britain for a long time.

I used to do something=I did something regularly in the past but no longer do it.

I used to drive to work every day, but these days I usually go by bike.

We used to live in a small village, but now we live in London.
