Thanks, one more question... Is it possible to use "used to" with simple present tense. Such as.....

Sorry,it's my mistake.
I wanted to say the difference between :

I was used to driving on the left.

I used to drive on the left.
0

I was used to driving on the left.
I used to drive on the left.

These carry the same relative meanings as these (above):

I wasn't used to driving on the left.
I didn't use to drive on the left.
