Be / Get used to something
sentence
Lisa is American, but she lives in Britain. When she first drove a car in Britain, she found it very difficult because she had to drive on the left, not on the right. Driving on the left was strange and difficult for her because: She wasn't used to it. She wasn't used to driving on the left. But after a lot of practice, driving on the left became less strange. So: She got used to driving on the left. Now it's no problem for Lisa: She is used to driving on the left. |
