- 'I used to find grammar difficult, but now it's much easier for me to understand' - that's what you'll be thinking after listening to 6 Minute Grammar. Callum and Catherine explain all about using the phrases 'used to' for past activities and situations, and 'be used to' or 'get used to' for talking about situations that you have become familiar with.
There are more activities and explanation on our site: www.bbc.co.uk/l...
Thanks for the video!!! You've explained it very well!
I used to confuse these phrases. But I won't do it anymore!
I'll get used to using the phrases correctly because I'm used to learning grammar rules properly!
Thanks, Helene Helene. We are glad you like our videos.
At first, those can be confusing, but I'm pretty sure it'll get easier to understand after getting used to them!
Thank you, I used to benefits from your channel. Now I get used to being very good in English.
The best explanation ever!
Nice video¡ really helpful. just one question... in the minute 2:13 the sentence "I can´t get used to eating"... is it wrong? why? and in part 4:30 catherine repeat that phrase "I can´t get used to it"
Excellent. Greetings from Lima - Peru
Iam used to listen this fantastic program & l really love it♡
Excellent chanel❤
i hope that you’ll make lessons to learn Pronunciation for beginners
It´s very interesting and educative! Thank you!
Our pleasure!
It is very helpful for me. Thank you.
Great! Thanks a lot for the interesting information!
I have a question.
After be or get used to we must use ing form of the verb ,but if the verb is a state verb can we that in ing form?
Great job!
Great video!!! but I have a question.
Why did you say that (in minute 2:07) I can't get used to eating no salt on my chips was wrong?
No, it wasn't. If you think about the quantity of salt on your chips, then you can have: plenty of salt, more salt, less salt, a little salt or no salt, etc. It doesn't translate to other languages, it's just an English way.
Maybe, Its double negative phrase,that is forbidden.
@@ritaliv9150 I have the same question. What you said seems correctly. We can listen to Catherine saying "horrible". But in the point 1:47 we can listen to Rob saying "I’m not used to eating food without salt". That wouldn't be the same case? :)
thank you very much
Great video
Thank you.~!
thanks for these lessons but I hope you can talk more slowely.. like Jeff McQuillan in ESL_Podcast, for example
I'm confUSED 😅
you are great
I can't get used to eating no salt on my chips. If this is wrong. Tell me . I can't get used to living in London . How it is correct.
I still not understand the #3 quiz question. Why not BE USED TO but GET USED TO? They're same meaning
+bao bao Actually.. I think that they have NOT the same meaning. GET USED TO contains the meaning 'to BECOME familiar' while BE USED TO means just 'to BE familiar'. That's what I understand.
I think it'll take some time to get used to their meanings. Anyway thank you so much^^. Have a great 2016!
