  • '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!

    At first, those can be confusing, but I'm pretty sure it'll get easier to understand after getting used to them!

    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 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?

    • @krzysztofmazurkiewicz6678
      @krzysztofmazurkiewicz6678 6 лет назад +1

      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.

      @ritaliv9150 6 лет назад +1

      Maybe, Its double negative phrase,that is forbidden.

    • @dioclecio
      @dioclecio 5 лет назад +1

      @@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? :)

    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

    • @mingyojeong1503
      @mingyojeong1503 9 лет назад

      +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.

    • @TYREPAIRING
      @TYREPAIRING 9 лет назад

      I think it'll take some time to get used to their meanings. Anyway thank you so much^^. Have a great 2016!
