Сравните эти примеры:
- I used to get up early. = Я раньше вставал рано.
- I am used to getting up early. = Я привык вставать рано.
- I will get used to getting up early. = Я привыкну вставать рано.
Compare these examples:
- I used to get up early. = I usually got up early but I don’t anymore.
- I am used to getting up early. = I am in the habit of getting up early.
- I will get used to getting up early. = I will get into the habit of getting up early.
Означает "было, но прошло". Почти то же самое, что Past Simple, но с акцентом на слово "раньше".
- They used to live in Zimbabwe. — Они раньше жили в Зимбабве. (а сейчас живут в Кирибати)
- She used to be quite impatient. — Она раньше была довольно нетерпеливой. (а сейчас приняла буддизм)

КАК ОБРАЗОВАТЬ
ВОПРОСЫ и ОТРИЦАНИЯ?
ВОПРОСЫ и ОТРИЦАНИЯ?
Представьте, что used – это просто прошедшее время от use.
- He USED a pen. → DID he USE a pen? → He DIDN’T USE a pen.
- He USED to get up early. → DID he USE to get up early? → He DIDN’T USE to get up early.
2.
HOW DO YOU FORM QUESTIONS AND NEGATIVES?
Imagine that used here is merely the past form of use.
- He USED a pen. → DID he USE a pen? → He DIDN’T USE a pen.
- He USED to get up early. → DID he USE to get up early? → He DIDN’T USE to get up early.

По досадному недоразумению used to может также быть прилагательным с предлогом, которое означает "привыкший к".
В этом случае к конструкции придется добавить BE (быть) или GET (стать), а к глаголу – окончание -ING:
be/get used to Ving

А теперь примеры:
- I am used to reading a lot. — Я привык много читать. (Я являюсь привыкшим к чтению.)
- I got used to reading a lot. — Я привык много читать. (Я стал привыкшим к чтению.)
- They are used to living in Zimbabwe. — Они привыкли жить в Зимбабве. (Они являются привыкшими к проживанию в Зимбабве.)
- They will get used to living in Zimbabwe. — Они привыкнут жить в Зимбабве. (Они станут привыкшими к проживанию в Зимбабве.)
- She is used to being quite impatient. — Она привыкла быть довольно нетерпеливой. (Она является привыкшей к тому, чтобы быть нетерпеливой.)
- She is getting used to being quite impatient. — Она привыкает быть довольно нетерпеливой. (Она становится привыкшей к тому, чтобы быть нетерпеливой.)
NB!
Зачем -ING? Здесь эта форма не имеет никакого отношения к Continuous. Называется она "герундий", по факту является существительным, а дословно означает "делание":
- smoking — курение
- swimming — плавание
- understanding — понимание
BY THE WAY
Обратите внимание на прилагательное USUAL — обыкновенный. И на то, что USED и USUAL — родственники.
Станет немного понятнее, почему все конструкции с USED — о привычках и обыкновениях.

Quite by accident, used could also be an adjective followed by the preposition to, which means 'accustomed to'.
In this event, we'll have to add BE or GET before it and put the verb into the -ING form:
be/get used to Ving
In this event, we'll have to add BE or GET before it and put the verb into the -ING form:
be/get used to Ving
And now examples:
- I am used to reading a lot. — I am accustomed to reading / am in the habit of reading a lot.
- I got used to reading a lot. — I became accustomed to reading / got into in the habit of reading a lot.
- They are used to living in Zimbabwe. — They are accustomed to living in Zimbabwe.
- They will get used to living in Zimbabwe. — They will become accustomed to living in Zimbabwe.
- She is used to being quite impatient. — She is in the habit of being quite impatient.
- She is getting used to being quite impatient. — She is becoming accustomed to being quite impatient.
NB!
Why -ING? Here this form has nothing to do with the Continuous. It's called the 'gerund', which is very much like an abstract noun:
- smoking – the action of sb smoking
- swimming – the action of sb swimming
- understanding – the act of sb understanding
BY THE WAY
Here’s something to notice: the adjective USUAL – customary, habitual – is actually related to USED.
This makes it a bit clearer why USED is often linked to habits and routines.

NOW TEST YOURSELF
USED TO
Did you use to go out with Chris?
That's right.
Not really.
No, that's the present tense.
You don't need 'use' here.
Did you use to read comics?
Nope.
You used what?
Perfect!
Why he?
Brazil _________ the World Cup in 1998.
Come on, it's about a single occasion!
You're God damn right!
No Present Perfect for past events.
You need to use a different form.
I _________ get up early, because I have to be at work by 7.30.
Wrong. It's about the present.
It's correct.
Makes no sense.
You don't need an irrelevant auxiliary here.
Sam _________ work in a large office in Moscow.
That doesn't make sense.
Of course not.
Not really, no
Oh yes!
Are you sure you've read the text above?
Do it over ASAP.
Not so bad.
But not so good either.
We are proud of you.
But there's still room for improvement.
Fabulous!
Keep it up!
