Grammar

"used to" + gerund/infinitve

#1 I am used to working in a noisy room. (Present habit, gerund)

We use Sub + be + used to + gerund. So #1 seems correct.

#2 I used to smoke cigarette. (past habit, Infinitive)

But

#3 I got used to driving on right side when I was in America.

Is this correct to use "got" here? Or can I say "I used to drive on.......".?

Thank you

  • You can say I got (= became accustomed) to driving on the right or I used to drive on the right .
  • Both are grammatical, but they have very different meanings.
