be used to and get used to

Be used to means 'be familiar with' or 'be accustomed to'.

We use get used to to talk about the process of becoming familiar with something.

Be used to and get used to are followed by a noun, pronoun or the -ing form of a verb, and can be used about the past, present or future.
