    1. Used to, be used to, and get used to are used to talk about habits or situations that have changed in the past or are changing now. 2. Used to refers to repeated actions or states that were true in the past but are no longer the case. Be used to refers to a new situation that has become familiar or less strange. Get used to refers to becoming familiar with a new situation. 3. The difference between be used to and get used to is the same as the difference between be and get with adjectives - be used to refers to a current state of being familiar, while get used to refers to the process of becoming familiar.
