Used to, Would and be used to

Using used to, would, and be used to


We use would to and used-to to repeat action in the past


Continuous action in the past = used to

For continuous action use used to not would.

For past situations that not longer exist, use used to not would



Be used to means be accustomed to

Ex: Mary is used to cold weather (Mary sudah terbiasa dengan udara dingin)

Ex: Mary is accustomed to cold weather


To be used to + N

Used to + V1

Mary is used to cold weather (mary sudah terbiasa dengan udara dingin)

Mary used to live in bandung (mary dulu tinggal di bandung, sekarang sudah tidak)

Mary get accustomed = mary get used to
