Used to, be used to, get used to

Polyglotopia Team — Sat, 13 May 2023 15:50:57 +0000

Learning to use English verbs correctly can be challenging, especially when it comes to structures like used to, be used to, and get used to. These phrases have distinct meanings and are commonly used in both written and spoken English. As a B2-level learner, it’s important to master their use to effectively communicate and express yourself in English, as well as improve your scores in your grammar exams. In this article, we will explore the differences between used to, be used to, and get used to and provide examples of their usage. We’ve also included a quiz at the end of the article to test your knowledge and reinforce your understanding of these structures.

Grammar explanation:

Structure	Use	Followed by
Used to	For past habits or states	infinitive
Be used to	Refers to being familiar with, or accustomed to a situation.	gerund
Get used to	Refers to the process of becoming familiar with, or accustomed to a situation	gerund

Here's a further explanation of each structure:

Used to:

Meaning: It expresses past habits or states that were true in the past but are no longer true in the present.

Example: “I used to live in Valencia.” indicates that in the past, the person lived in Valencia, but now, they don’t.

“I used to be lazy.” It expresses the fact that this person was lazy in the past but not anymore.

Be used to:

Meaning: It describes the state of being familiar with something or being accustomed to a particular situation.

Example: “I am used to waking up early.” This person is accustomed to waking up early.

Get used to:

Meaning: It refers to the process of becoming accustomed to something that was previously unfamiliar or uncomfortable.

Example: “I had to get used to waking up early as I got a morning job.” This person was unfamiliar with waking up early in the morning but had to change this and become accustomed to waking up early because of their morning job.

You can find be used to and get used to in different tenses, the only part that changes is “be” and “get”, depending on the tense. For example:

I got used to speaking French after living in Paris for two years.

(Get here is used in the past tense.)

Will vs going to for predictions

Polyglotopia Team — Fri, 05 May 2023 07:09:45 +0000

Making predictions about the future is a common topic of conversation, so you are going to need the necessary tools to do it in English. Two common ways of expressing predictions about future events are with will and going to. But what are the differences between the two? In this article and quiz, we’ll explore the distinctions between “will” and “going to” and how to use them correctly.

Whether you’re a beginner or a more advanced learner of English, understanding the nuances of these two forms will help you express your ideas and opinions about future events with greater clarity and accuracy. So, let’s dive in and test your knowledge!

Grammar explanation

Use

Will and going to are both used to make predictions about the future. But what are their differences? The basic difference is that going to is used when there is evidence related to the prediction. For example: I can see the clouds. It is going to rain.

On the other hand, will is used to make predictions based on beliefs. For example: I think you will become good friends. (This is what I believe, but there is no evidence). Expressions that usually go together with will for predictions are: I think, I believe, I doubt, I bet.

Don’t worry too much as English speakers many times use them interchangeably, but keep these general guidelines in mind for your grammar exams.

Let’s now move on to how they are formed.

Form

Do you know the famous verb to be? If you do, that’s good news!

Let’s look again at the example:

It is going to rain.

Subject + verb to be + going to + infinitive

Remember to change the verb to be depending on the subject.

Affirmative

I am going to pass the exam.

He/She/It is going to pass the exam.

You/We/they are going to pass the exam.

Negative:

I am not going to pass the exam.

He/She/It is not going to pass the exam.

You/We/They are not going to pass the exam.

Interrogative:

Am I going to pass the exam?

Is he/she/it going to pass the exam?

Are you/we/they going to pass the exam?

Are you wondering how to form a prediction with will? That’s even easier. Let’s see the example:

You will become good friends.

Subject +will + infinitive

Remember to use an infinitive after will. For example: She will be very happy.

Not: she will is very happy or she will very happy.

Affirmative

Subject +will + infinitive

Negative

Subject +will not (won’t) + infinitive

Interrogative

Will + subject + infinitive?

If you see this ‘ll, instead of will, don’t get confused. It’s the same, but it’s a contraction, used in spoken English as well as when writing informal e-mails/articles.
