عادت داشتن به چیزی (Be Used To + -ing)
Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds
Use 'be used to' + '-ing' to describe things that are familiar, normal, or no longer strange to you.
- Always include the verb 'be' (am/is/are/was) before 'used to' for current familiarity. Example: 'I am used to the noise.'
- Follow 'used to' with a noun or a gerund (-ing verb). Example: 'She is used to driving in traffic.'
- Never use the base form of the verb after 'be used to'. Example: 'I am used to wake up early' is incorrect.

Smart Tips
Check if there is a 'be' verb before 'used'. If yes, add -ing!
Use 'get used to' to describe your journey of adjustment.
Use 'accustomed to' instead of 'used to' for a more professional tone.
Use the present perfect: 'I still haven't gotten used to...'
تلفظ
The 'd' in 'used'
In 'used to', the 'd' is often silent or blends into the 't' of 'to'. It sounds like /juːst tuː/.
The 's' sound
The 's' in 'used to' is unvoiced /s/, unlike the verb 'to use' which has a voiced /z/.
Stress on 'used'
I am USED to it.
Emphasizing that you are indeed familiar, perhaps after someone doubted you.

`Used to` describes a past habit (e.g., 'I used to smoke'). `Be used to` describes current familiarity (e.g., 'I am used to the noise').
No. You must say `I am used to swimming`. The 'to' is a preposition, so it needs a gerund.
Not exactly. `Get used to` is the process of becoming familiar. `Be used to` is the final state of being familiar.
Yes! 'You will soon be used to the new system.'
Because 'used' is acting as an adjective (like 'tired' or 'bored').
Yes, absolutely. 'I am used to the city.'
It is neutral and used in all contexts, from casual chat to business meetings.
Use the negative: 'I am not used to...' or 'I haven't gotten used to...'
