so i didn't have a high school reunion
but i always wonder
what would that be like
wow
20 years this is crazy everyone looks so
different
i hope mr smith isn't here though
remember when he used to spit in our
mouths if we got a question wrong
i think that guy used to be in our maths
class hey poo pants
i'll catch up with you later
hey it's you
is ally
oh i used to be fat
and i used to be spotty
sorry
no
sorry
i would be sitting next to you and then
you would fart whenever it went quiet
hilarious do you ever doing that poo
pants mate i've never done that and
don't you remember you would poo
yourself to get out of doing pe
so genius
mate i have never done that right
see you later poo pen remember we would
throw bits of fish at the teacher oh
nothing
i don't remember i'm sorry i used to
have really bad acne
i look very different now
i
i also used to have hair
no
why does no one remember me was i that
forgettable
maybe i didn't used to have friends
ally kyle it's like no one even knows me
yeah probably because i got the date
wrong this isn't our reunion this is
just the regular high school dance what
like a prom yeah these people are all
just like random teenagers
[Music]
oh
i thought their skin was so much better
than mine cheese ah that's a relief i'll
be honest
oh
we need to leave yes we do like now yep
yep
today we're doing used to get used to be
used to and wood look at this photo of
me as a kid i know i'm adorable i was
only like
five i don't know kid age
compare that photo to now
can you see any difference i can't it's
like the same person okay okay so yeah
we can see
hair
no hair
massive head my mum tells me that my
head was really big and it was quite
painful
sorry mum anyway
i can say
i had hair when i was young that's fine
the grammar is good but
i want to show that something changed
so
we replace this with used to i used to
have hair i used to have a massive head
the grammar used to plus infinitive used
to have not used to had used to having
new
and use it for descriptions
i used to be small in the past small now
no try a negative for example i didn't
used to like spicy food so when i was a
kid spicy food
but now mmm spicy food it means
something changed practice this grammar
what has changed for you since you were
a kid practice this in the comments or
practice in the e-book of sexiness
hmm okay a question if someone asks you
did you used to smoke the pronunciation
used to say it with me
used to
nice good job but how can you answer
this remember
this means something changed
but
what if you
never smoked you have never smoked and
you still don't smoke
how can you answer that i've never
smoked easy and a common mistake with
this if you want to use present tense
for use do
don't it doesn't exist like oh yeah
these days i used to smoke no this is a
common mistake you say
yeah i usually smoke
don't smoke gives you yellow teeth it's
gross so remember those two things used
to means a change happened either before
yes now no or before no now yes
and if you want to use this in present
tense
don't say used to use usually
super easy right
now let's do get used to this has a very
different meaning
okay let's say you are from brazil
and you just moved to london
[Music]
brazil it's sunny great food great
weather the people are nice but now you
live in london it's always raining
people are miserable and we only eat
sandwiches
i used to live in brazil before yes now
no but imagine how does it feel when you
first move to london
feels bad right feels different feels
weird
ugh it's not normal for you
but
with time
you slowly become accustomed to this it
becomes normal
ish for you and when you become
accustomed to it
you
get used to something
living in london was hard at first but i
got used to it
it took some time to get used to living
in london and notice the verb form here
with i used to
the next verb is infinitive
but with get used to or be used to the
next verb is in
get used to living for example when you
say get used to
you're saying i became
accustomed to it i became
okay with it it became
normal so with this
get means become keep that in mind it's
very important
like the weather here is rubbish i'm
still getting used to it
it's not normal yet
but i'm becoming
accustomed to the weather
to clarify
i got used to the food
i became accustomed it's fine now
i'm getting used to the food
it's becoming normal
now when you want to say i am accustomed
to something it is normal now i'm fine
with this
that is when you use be used to
for example if you come to london
you will notice that we say sorry a lot
but pretty quickly that becomes normal
so you could say this
i'm used to everyone saying sorry all
the time
it's normal now
i am used to it i'm used to
and remember the verb ing i'm used to
people saying blah blah blah it's normal
for me now
i am accustomed to it
it's normal it's not weird
but the negative how do we use that
nice and easy
if it's still weird for you
i'm not used to people saying sorry all
the time it's so weird
maybe i'll never be used to it
people are weird here so practice this
right now
what in your life has changed
maybe you changed schools changed cities
changed jobs
was it weird in the beginning
did you have to get used to something
very strange
are you still
getting used to something strange
let me know in the comments or boost
your learning with this guy let's put
all of this together for one final
example and a very important point
let's imagine that you're a fish
you used to live in the sea but now you
live in london you have a job
what could you say
i used to swim every day i used to see
my fish friends i used to play fish
games your english teacher will hate
this repetition
so we can change this you start with
used to that sets the time i used to
swim every day
okay we know this is past
fine
but now to avoid repetition we can
replace
the next use twos
with
wood
i used to swim every day
i would see my fish friends and i'd play
fish games
but be careful
with wood
you only use it for repeated actions
not states so earlier when i said i used
to be small
i used to have hair
those are fine i
would have hair i would be small no
because those aren't actions
only replace used to for wood with
repeated actions
these are fine because these are actions
repeated
actions
use this in your writing when you're
talking about
when you were a kid
and what changed
and i'll see you in the next class
[Music]
you
