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.





~에 익숙하다

Be used to 명사/V-ing   +   상태


Get used to V-ing +   동작


->It is not new or strange for me


동작의 상태를 강조하여 익숙하다고 표현하고 싶을 땐 get을 쓴다.




★ I am used to the weather in this country.

( 난 이 나라의 날씨가 익숙하다 )

used to에 쓰이는 To는 전치사이다.






~하곤 했다

 used to 동사(or V+ing)


-> I did it regularly in the past but no longer do it. You can use this only for the past, not for the present.


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

(나는 매일 일을 위해 운전을 하곤했지만 요즘엔 주로 자전거로 간다.)
