English grammar
Be Used To - Accustomed
Expresses that something feels normal or familiar because of repeated exposure. Not about the past, but about accustomedness. "I'm used to the noise." "She's used to working late." "They were used to long trips." Followed by a gerund or noun, never a base verb.
am/is/are/was/were used to + -ing verb / noun
