Dialectal and Old Lithuanian, in addition to -dav-, also feature habituals with the suffixes-lav-and-dlav-, which could have followed the same path of development ¿Te haces un lío entre las expresiones inglesas “get used to” y “be used to”? ¡No solo te pasa a ti! A medida que van progresando hacia el nivel avanzado, a los hispanoparlantes que estudian inglés parece costarles comprender la diferencia entre ambas, pero no te preocupes: solo significan ‘acostumbrarse a’ y ‘tener costumbre de’, respectivamente. Sigue leyendo para ver qué reglas, excepciones y variantes existen respecto a estas expresiones, y qué errores debes evitar. ¿Cuándo se usan estas expresiones? Quizá te preguntes por qué decimos “get used to doing” o “be used to doing” cuando podríamos emplear “get accustomed to doing” o “be accustomed to doing”, que también existen en inglés. Bueno, como muchas otras palabras de origen latino que en español nos parecen perfectamente neutrales, en inglés “accustomed” suena bastante formal, incluso un poco “demasiado fino”. “Used to” es más corto, y más cotidiano. Utilizamos “be used to” para indicar algo que hemos hecho o experimentado con frecuencia, que no nos resulta extraño, novedoso o difícil, porque ‘estamos acostumbrados’ a ello: I proofread all my daughter’s university assignments, so I’m used to spotting mistakes (Reviso a mi hija todos los trabajos de la universidad, así que estoy acostumbrada a detectar errores): por ello, puedo encontrar con facilidad cualquier error que hayas cometido en un escrito. I work shifts so I'm used to getting up at all hours (Trabajo por turnos, así que estoy acostumbrado a levantarme a cualquier hora): levantarme temprano no me resulta raro o novedoso. En cambio, “get used to” significa lo mismo que “become used to” o “become accustomed to”, es decir, ‘acostumbrarse’. At first I found the new software really confusing, but I soon got used to it (Al principio el nuevo software me pareció muy complicado, pero pronto me acostumbré a él). A veces la gente comenta irónicamente “I could get used to this” (literalmente ‘¡Podría acostumbrarme a esto!’, aunque en español diríamos más bien ‘¡No me importaría hacer esto más a menudo!’), para señalar algo que en realidad es muy agradable, ¡como sentarse al solecito en vacaciones! Reglas “Get used to” / “Be used to” + -ing o sustantivo Solemos pensar que “to” va siempre seguido de infinitivo. Pero las expresiones “get used to” y “be used to”, al igual que “look forward to”, van seguidas de un sustantivo o de un verbo en gerundio, es decir, terminado en “-ing”. Formas en presente, pasado, interrogativas y negativas Formas en presente: I am getting used to the Basque rain (Me estoy habituando a la lluvia del País Vasco). After two weeks in Taiwan I am getting used to eating with chopsticks (Después de dos semanas en Taiwán me estoy acostumbrando a comer con palillos). I am used to this new software now (Ya estoy familiarizado con este nuevo software). Formas en pasado: I have got used to the Basque rain (Me he acostumbrado a la lluvia en el País Vasco). After a few months in Taiwan I got used to eating with chopsticks (Tras unos meses en Taiwán me acostumbré a comer con palillos). At first, I was really slow, because I was used to the old software (Al principio, hacía las cosas muy despacio, porque estaba acostumbrado al software antiguo). Formas interrogativas: Are you getting used to the Basque rain? (¿Estás acostumbrándote a la lluvia vasca?). Did you get used to eating with chopsticks? (¿Te acostumbraste a comer con palillos?). Are you used to the new software yet? (¿Estás ya acostumbrado al nuevo software?). Formas en negativo: Utilizamos “can't” o “couldn't” para indicar que nos parece o nos parecía difícil acostumbrarnos (get used to) a algo: I can't get used to all this rain! (¡No puedo acostumbrarme / No me acostumbro a toda esta lluvia!). I couldn't get used to using chopsticks (No me habituaba a usar palillos). Pero no se usan con be used to: I'm not used to the new software yet (Aún no me he acostumbrado al nuevo software). Fíjate que en todos los casos la palabra “used” permanece invariable, independientemente del tiempo en el que vaya el otro verbo. ¿Estás disfrutando de este post?

Suscríbete aquí Excepciones y variantes I've got used to = I’m used to Como hemos visto en algunos ejemplos, en vez de “I've got used to” (‘me he acostumbrado a’) podemos decir “I'm used to” (‘estoy acostumbrado a’): I live between Europe and the UK so I’m used to switching from right-to-left-hand drive (Vivo entre Europa continental y el Reino Unido, así que estoy acostumbrada a hacer el cambio entre conducir por la derecha y por la izquierda). Errores frecuentes Los estudiantes suelen confundir estas dos expresiones que estamos viendo, “get used to (doing)” y “be used to (doing)”, con otra distinta: “used to (do)”. “Used to (do)” se emplea para hablar de un hábito o estado del pasado. Compara estas oraciones: I used to live in Morocco (Vivía / Antes vivía en Marruecos); ahora vivo en España. I've lived in seven countries, so I'm used to adapting to different cultures (He vivido en siete países, así que estoy acostumbrado a adaptarme a distintas culturas): esta es una capacidad que he adquirido a base de experiencia. ¿Quieres saber más sobre la diferencia entre “be / get used to + -ing” y “used to”? También es corriente confundir “usually (do)” con “be used to (doing)”. Recuerda que “be used to (doing)” expresa algo que no nos resulta nuevo, raro o difícil; no se trata de un simple hábito. En cambio, con “usually” (‘normalmente’) nos referimos a un hábito o costumbre que tenemos: I usually go to the gym on Sundays (Suelo ir al gimnasio los domingos). I usually wake up about seven (Suelo levantarme hacia las siete). En estos casos no emplearíamos “used to doing”. Si tienes dudas, consulta nuestra entrada dedicada a los adverbios de frecuencia para expresar hábitos. ¿Hay ejemplos conocidos? En la canción Shotgun (De copiloto), George Ezra dice: Deep sea diving round the clock, bikini bottoms, lager tops,I could get used to this! (Todo el día buceando en el mar, braguitas de bikini, cervezas con limón, ¡podría acostumbrarme a esto!). Ejercicio Cada una de las frases siguientes contiene un error. ¿Puedes encontrarlo y corregirlo? I got use to spicy food when I was working with Bangladeshi colleagues. I am getting used to travel by metro every day. I can't get used driving on the right. I used to going to bed late. I am used working long hours. (Respuestas) I got used to spicy food when I was working with Bangladeshi colleagues. I am getting used to traveling by metro every day. I can't get used to driving on the right. I am used to going to bed late. O bien I used to go to bed late (pero ahora ya no suelo hacerlo). I am used to working long hours.

This is some grammar that even advanced students find tricky. For most students, the differences just aren't clear or they don't exist in their own language. But mastering this bit of grammar is certainly worth one or two points in your exam, so do your best to learn how I try to teach it to my students, but it tends to take a few months until it really sticks! Used To - Past StatesI used to live in used to like fries more than football team used to be easy, right? Where do I live now? Not China. These days I like burgers more than fries. And my football team was good in the past but nowadays they are states. If you're not sure what a state is, think about iPhones, lights, nationalities. There are two states about you and iPhones - either you have one or you don't. There are two states for lights - on or off. And there are two states for nationalities - either you are British or you are not. Used to is used if those states are no longer used to have a Nokia 3310. (But now I have an iPhone.)Anthony Hopkins used to be British. (But now he has an American passport.) Used To vs Would - To Describe a Past HabitHere's a charming and true story about my grandmother, who was a Catholic and wanted me to grow up to be a choirboy or something. (Spoiler - that didn't happen!)I used to go to church every Sunday. My grandmother used to bribe me - she used to give me a pound, and I used to walk across the field and the big, dangerous road, and I used to sit at the back and think about which chocolates to buy with my pound. When church was over, I used to go and spend my money and run home to eat it all. This was something that happened every Sunday. That's a 'habit' - a recurring action. Now here's the same story with a slight difference. Can you spot it? Is it good English?I would go to church every Sunday. My grandmother would bribe me - she'd give me a pound, and I'd walk across the field and the big, dangerous road, and I would sit at the back and think about which chocolates to buy with my pound. When church was over, I would go and spend my money and run home to eat it what? It's exactly the same. And it's perfect English. (Note, you shouldn't use only 'would' or only 'used to' - you should use a mix.) Be Used To and Get Used To - For Things That Have ChangedThis is where is gets tricky. Let me start by saying that in these structures, 'to' is a preposition, and as you know, if a verb follows a preposition you must use a gerund. Thus:I'm used to hearing I lived in China, I had to get used to using can't get used to seeing the what's going on in these sentences?1. I'm used to hearing from Manchester, and in England you don't hear much German. Just sometimes in a movie or in that song about balloons. So when I moved to Switzerland it was quite strange - everyone spoke German all the time! It was very strange... then quite strange... then not very strange... and then it was completely what 'be used to' is all about - the process of you becoming accustomed to something. Getting Used to Hearing German I hope that chart makes sense. In the first month, hearing German was about 20% normal. But when you hear German every day, and see newspapers in German, and watch football matches in German... it gets normal pretty quickly. Within three months it was completely When I lived in China, I had to get used to using moved to China when I was about 23 years old. I had used chopsticks a few times before then, but only for fun. When I arrived in China I realised that most restaurants gave you chopsticks. If I wanted to eat, I'd have to learn!Now some things take longer to become normal than others. When it's about food, I'm a fast learner! The graph for my process of learning to use chopsticks looks something like this: I Quickly Got Used to Using Chopsticks On the third day a Chinese woman taught me the correct technique, and then it was really easy. She was a great teacher!3. I can't get used to seeing the talked about some things that I did get used to. But what about the opposite?I grew up in Manchester, and we don't have mountains there. Then I lived in China, Taiwan, Poland, and Prague. The closest thing to a mountain in any of those places was a hill in Taiwan (one day it got a little bit of snow and everyone went crazy). So when I moved to Switzerland I had lived 30 years without seeing a Alps are visible from different places in Zurich, so you might think that it's totally normal for me now. But actually I rarely see them. So when I do I am always surprised. Oh! Look at those mountains! Cool! Andrew Can't Get Used to Seeing Mountains Maybe if I move to a flat with a good view of the Alps it'll start to be normal for me. But at the moment it's not normal. And actually that's okay, because it's a special feeling when I see them. Used To vs Would vs Be Used To in the Cambridge Advanced ExamLet's do a little test!Write one word in each space:1. When I was a child, I ______ sneak into my mother's room and try on all her Every day when I was in school, I ______ to sit behind the tallest student so the teacher wouldn't ask me the correct alternative:3.

Anyway, I need a new pair of sunglasses so it's I will never get used to say/to saying gerunds after the word 'to'!Complete the second sentence so that it means the same as the first sentence, using the word David De Gea quickly became accustomed to his new life in De Gea ________________________ living in England. (4 words.) (Oh, wait, there is one thing I forgot. The negative form of 'I used to China' is 'I didn't use to live in China.' I'm not sure Cambridge will include that in the exam because most native speakers write 'I didn't used to live in China.' Technically it's a mistake, but if 90% of native speakers make the same mistake, is it still a mistake?)More Articles About Grammar 4 Comments
