Shaky on the rule?
Guessing gets you through a quiz; understanding gets you through the exam. Read the full Used to, would and be used to lesson — Used to + infinitive describes past habits and states that are no longer true: 'I used to cycle to school.' Would also describes repeated past actions, but never states. Be used to + -ing means something feels normal now, and get used to describes the process of becoming familiar — the forms look alike but mean different things.
