English Grammar – I USED TO & I’M USED TO

Thanks James, it’s cool.
I didn’t know the form “I’m used to V-ing”.

Maxim

To maxim, i hope i can help you by this..

S + V2B (To Be) + used to + Ving
S = I, YOU, WE,THEY, HE, SHE, IT
Tobe : Am, Are , Is

littlelinda

u r good girl

k.abed

Hi James,
I really confuse with the construction of:

S + V2B + used + to + Ving.

ex: I am used to working …

I thought after the preposition to, it was not correct to put Ving.

Could you be so kind to give more information about that?

Thanks in advance

Isaac

Did you watch the lesson or did you not? JAMES says you can say that sentence you putt… so that mean you can say it. Stupid!

DogMan

DogMan — you can reply to other students, but please do not insult them! You make mistakes too; everyone does. There are even some mistakes in your comment here. Let’s all just be friends!

Headmaster

sorry your grammar is wrong…

jercster

I’m used to spending my nights learning English.

jay-jay

I feel the same :D

beaata

Thanks Dogman

Isaac

i enjoyed learning english.thanks for the lesson

jay-jay

am ,is ,are ….these are v2b

sabhi93

lol i agree with you.That’s what i also thought,I’m an English Lang student but I’m not quite satisfied with what my teacher teach me that’s why I’m here:)

ruby17

Thanks a lot for the explanation!!!!!

Really good and clear

andressa

I think this is the answer I was looking for

Why do we use -ing for a verb after be used to? Because we always use -ing for a verb after a preposition – and the to is a preposition

Isaac

I think the simplest answer it’s a special, an irregular case. You just have to learn it. :)

beaata

Hi , James . I’m Shun.There is something
I really need to ask about.
I’m not pretty sure how the word ”used to”
So can you please define it for me ?

Shun

i used to work in a school……..is the statement wrong

sai

mara

Dear Jmaes,

Elaborate more on word ” TO BE ”.

Its really confussing.

I watched the complete chapter but you expalined little about

” TO BE ”.
So, please give us some more examples.

mohammed osman

Thanks teacher for all this information.

Hi James
Today I have known a more way to use the verb Ving. The understanding of the using of the verb Ving is very difficult to me. I hope you can do other videos about this matter.
Your lesson are always very interesting and useful to me.
Thanks a lots

Dear James
I have written a few times for you but I hadn’t have a luck to talk to you yet.
Here is my question, please let me know.
Int he below paragraph why don’t we say ” students are confusing or confused) the word confusing is it a gerund or present participle (verbal). Verbals are the most confusing sections in English grammar.
This English lesson outlines the difference between “used to” and “I’m used to”. I’m used to hearing ESL students (confusing )these two, so watch this lesson and learn the difference!

Looking forward to hearing from you.

glo2010

hey James! nice lesson but I have a question, why do you use the ING with the verbs if u have “TO” so the first thing I do to set a verb in gerund is eliminate the “to” so I think you must say I’m used to work everyday “not Working”

Fio

I have two questions of using “Negative” with used to :
(1) I used to go to school earlier. –> I didn’t use to go to school earlier? or I used to not go to school earlier? (which one is correct?)
(2)I am used to dressing up–> I am not used to gressing up or I am used to not gressing up? (which one is correct?) Please kindly advise with thanks

James,

I have a question, but first I’d like to say that I am loving the lessons, it is really helping me, however, you did one thing that I noticed I don’t know.

You put “to wearing”, and I couldn’t understand why, I would probably put “to wear”, could you explain me that.

Thank you for the lessons,

عماد Emad

Nice. Watching your videos helps me improve my accent. Thanks

snoogums

” Nice. Watching your videos helps me improve my accent. Thanks ”

It’s ” Help me” not ” Helps me”. Because ‘Videos’ is a plural, and the verb ‘Help’ refers to it.

Thanks :D

Sami

I love your comment <3 Really, not in an ironic way…

beaata

hi, i saw this video and i understood a thing u didn’t mention/ that’s how to make it negative for (( i used to)). it’s really essential to know . if it’s possible plz replace the video it new corrected to avoid teaching impair. tanx

Hi James!
Can you please confirm the negative and interrogative forms of “I USED TO “? E.g I used to play => “I DIDN’T USED TO PLAY” and “DID YOU USED TO PLAY” ? Is it correct?

milly

I didn’t use to play football.

I usedn’t to… / I used not to…

Did you use to…? / Used you to…?

Didn’t you use to…? / Usedn’t you to …?

Note: take into account that ‘Did/Didn’t you use to’ is a more informal form, common in conversation.

AlessandroItaly

I want to answer your question, Milly. You can’t say “I DIDN’T USED TO PLAY”, the right form is “I DIDN’T USE TO PLAY”.and about the question “DID YOU USED TO PLAY” -it’s not correct, the right form is “DID YOU USE TO PLAY?”

Assol

James, you got me little confused with
I used to(present)
I thought it was past.
you lesson are funny, but if you can clear this to me, I will be tankful.

jonathanhans

I used to ( past )
I’m used to ( present )

hope you got it :)

atilla

James.. I have to say that your lesson was fantastic.. I showed it to my students as an extra and follow up to our ‘used to’ lesson(teaching at a language school down under!) and they loved it. I was pleased to see someone else as silly as I sometimes can be.. it’s usually responded to in a positive way, and they all had a good chuckle at the underwear bit. I’m sure most of them will be trying out your website again, and just wanted to say thanks for the inspiration to use fun examples… loved it! cheers!

Greetings from Korea,

It was perfect. :)

sukyoung

I have a question and please I would love if someone answers me… I already saw the video BUT there’s one doubt. Is it only with Ving? I think I’ve heard “I’m used to drink coffee” but I don’t know if that’s correct.
I have another doubt about how to use “I got used to”. PLEASE, I’D BE HAPPY IF SOMEONE FROM ENGVID ANSWERS ME. Thanks a lot

Cinderella

You might have heard wrong! They were probably saying “I used to drink coffee”. (In the past, I drank coffee regularly, but I don’t any more.)

As for “get used to”…it’s how you talk about adjusting to changes or new things:

– The train goes right by my new house. It’s really loud, but I’ve gotten used to it — I don’t even notice any more.
– The store isn’t carrying that kind of coffee any more. You’ll have to get used to going without it.
– My sister just got married. She’s still getting used to having her mother-in-law around.

engVid Moderator

Hi, thanks for your clear explanation which helps me to understand it much better. Yet, I still have a question for you, can I conclude that I’m used to is just the same as an expression to talk about habit we usually do at present?

afifah21

Thank you James, I was confusing about these phrases for long time. your explained help me understand better.

munarong

I’d like to know more about usage of “get used to” where should we use it?Thanks very much

Hi James… James, I like your lesson, about used to…and I’m used to. But I have read, I don’t know where… I get used to. Could you explain us, “get used to”.

orgasmin10

´´I´m USED TO´´ and ´´I´m GET USED TO´´ is a different?

Hello James. Can i to say: He WAS used to ?

Hi Teacher
Could you explain about “got used to” also?

Thanks James…a very helpful lesson…thanks again for your teaching

argenis

Thanks James , pretty clear your explanation, and If someone else does not have clear about The Verb “TO BE” I recommended first of all practice on that topic and then see this video, as many things in the life there are levels and steps to learn, and one level bring you up to another level and on and on, peace everybody. I really enjoyed this class, thanks James keep doing it.

theteacher03

hi,
I never used to visit this site but now I feel like I’m starting to get used to it:)
Could you help me with some piece of grammar though? There’s a construction “be accustomed to”, it’s similar to “get used to” by meaning. But what’s it followed by: doing/to do? I’ve seen both variants a number of times so I’m a bit a t a loss:) TIA

stacey8

It was very important this video, for improve my english…..thanks James

flivieri

Tanks for teaching
Why ur lesson did not have quiz?

omidamiri

Hello there! well I’m new here, I’ve been studying and learning by myself for a long time, that’s how I found you on youtube :)
I Have a huge confusion about this topic, actually, the lesson has been really clear, but my question is related to what I’ve been hearing about the using of “be used to”. I’ve heard: “I’m used to study at night” – I’m pretty aware that we must use a gerund instead of an infinitive, but is there any exception in spoken English, informal English or Brithish English, in which it’s possible to use an infinitive with “Be Used to” like: “I’m used to exercise everyday”?

Thank you! :)

mabel29

Welcome! Thanks for commenting!

I hope another teacher chimes in, but here’s my guess — could you have been mishearing “I used to study at night”?

“I’m used to exercise every day” works if exercise is a noun — “I’m used to [getting] exercise every day”.

engVid Moderator

thank you very much !

noorbazlamit33

plank1957

Good lesson :)

marekserwer

There “use to” and “used to” and there “use to get” and “used to get” and there “got” with word use & used. I get very confused the correct tense in writing and speaking?

Rican

So, is it wrong if I say “I’m used to make a cake” instead of “I’m used to making a cake?

It’s like mixing gerund with infinitive.

sebastian2013

Well, I think I grabbed your doubt. Usually the preposition to is followed by a verb in infinitive form according you said, but the expression “used to” always will have the “to” preposition like a phrasal verb. Actually, you must utilize ING form because the structure of sentence starts with Subject + verb to be. Unlike the sentence would have the same structure of the past actions that you don’t do anymore. Otherwise, how could we differentiate the two situations? I hope it can help you.

sgmmm

what happened with the quiz..

ANDRES SALAMANCA

thanks james

sakhraouinassim

Thanks James. I also interested in ” get used to doing…..”. Would you so kind to suggest me where I can find examples? Have a nice day.

buyeromanya

Thank again for awesome class, it was pretty useful, specially because I’ve noticed that the most all students had the same doubt in which I’d made mistake, where I work for, I have to deal with guys from the U.S.A. and others countries where English language is used a lot, anyway, I always thought that I heard from those guys the following form: I’m used to DO/TRY/SPEAK/SEE ….”, by now I can understand that I was completely wrong in my own interpretation of what they were saying!!!!
Thank a million for you all

Patricio da Silveira

Hi james
can you tell me how to use (used to) in a negative sentence. thanks

journec

The correct negative forms of these sentences are:

For “I’m used to + -ing”
I’M NOT USED TO standING here.

For “I used to”
I DIDN’T USE TO speak English.

I used to did karate
but nowadays Iam used to do kung fu

kotoz

It’s almost OK. I the first pasrt of the sentence you have to use with V1 (first form of the verb) and the second part the ‘ING’ form. eg: I used to do katate but nowdays I’m used to doing kung fu. Basically, this meens I did carate regurally in the past, but these days I do kung fu regurally, now I’m familiar with kung fu.

beaata

Thank you so much for so useful lesson! I tried to understand this topic by myself but then I realized I do need the help of a wonderful teacher))) It seems, now I am pretty confident regarding these two phrases.

The difference between a Past Simple (I used to) and a Present Continuous (I am studying) but this last tense like a tense with an adverb between the auxiliary “V2B” and the main verb, so it’s “I am STILL/ALREADY/JUST studying” or “I am USED TO studying” what it’s not new or strange. It’s a method to remember the difference of these tense for me. Good explanation and performance. Thanks teacher James from EngVid.

All the teachers are great, but this guy is my favorite by far. Haha! I love your lessons and you explain everything clearly. Congratulations and thanks for the lesson. However, is there any kind difference when the verb “to be” is in the past while using “I’m used to”? Thanks is advance!
